If you're voting today but don't have a poll card, fear not, you can vote without it. But beware - taking a 'selfie' while you vote could break the law.

The Government has made an estimated £38m from the 'double taxing' of cars following its radical move last year to scrap the paper tax disc, according to the AA.

Air Passenger Duty (APD) has been scrapped for children under 12 from Friday 1 May, so MoneySavingExpert.com explains how those who've already paid it can reclaim up to £97 airline-by-airline.

British holidaymakers heading to France, Spain, and Greece right now are finding life out there far cheaper than in previous years. The pound is at near record highs with £1 buying €1.39 – a huge rate compared with this time last year, when it was €1.20 or two years ago when it was €1.15.

People are being urged to register to vote in the general election ahead of the deadline at midnight tonight. Anyone who submits an application after this cut-off will not be able to have their say on 7 May.

Passengers with complaints about flight delays and cancellations may be able to take them to a new "aviation ombudsman" with binding powers from March next year, under plans confirmed by the regulator today.

From today a host of changes take force, which could see the tax you pay and the savings you make alter. Other changes will see new pension freedoms taking effect, as well as the ability to transfer Child Trust Fund savings into a Junior ISA.

The tax passengers pay on long-haul flights, such as London to Bangkok and Sydney, has fallen today, although those on medium-length journeys, for example London to New York, will now pay more.
