It has been speculated for years that where you live affects aspects of your life but the Daily Mail Online has undergone a special investigation that proves the case.

The newspaper showed that pensions, car insurance and health care premiums can all depend on where one lives and that by moving home, Brits can save hundreds of pounds and win the fight against the postcode lottery.

There isn’t a specific data sheet out there on the web to say what is a ‘good’ postcode to move to but wherever you do make sure you use Robinsons International’s expert removals services.

Everything about your street and the area in which you live in is moulded into an average category and this information is analysed by firms in order to charge you for services.

It ultimately means that because of where you live, you could have expensive car insurance premiums for the reason that there’s been quite a few car crashes on your street; and that you may be declined on a loan or mortgage simply because your neighbours have defaulted on theirs.

By swapping postcodes, you may be left with costly home insurance because crime in that area is high; or that contents insurance is greater since there have been several dodgy claims submitted on your street.

The postcode lottery further determines one’s life in the level of pension you can have. Statistics and government data can indicate how long people live for in a postcode using factors like diet, wealth and unemployment levels.

Therefore, this information can affect how much pension companies can offer you because if they think you’ll die young they’ll offer you a higher yearly payment.

And your address affects your heath too because NHS lotteries determine levels of care and prioritised spending. It means that where you live you may be offered neo-natal services and fertility treatments but two miles down the road you cannot get dental provision or cancer drug availability.

The Daily Mail reported that some primary care trusts in England were spending £20,000 a head on their cancer patients whilst figures showed that others spent just half that.

So fingers crossed wherever you move or relocate to, your premiums shouldn’t be too affected. There are reportedly 1.7 million postcodes in the UK, covering 27 million postal addresses but check out Robinsons today for easy UK removal services.

Australia is the world’s fourth largest in the shipping market by volume and its Australian ports employ more than 14,000 people.

The industry is worth 200 billion Australian dollars which equates to around US $213 billion. So it is no surprise that the Australian Government plans to introduce major tax breaks for shipping companies.

The new shipping tax changes will include breaks for companies and employees, an Australian international shipping register, a new licensing regime and steps to boost skills development.

The plans, which are set to be implemented from July 2012, will mean that Australian resident companies with locally registered vessels won’t pay company tax, qualifying income from shipping and royalty withholding tax will be exempted.

Some 10% of the global sea trade is managed in Australian ports which accounts to Robinsons International’s shipping Australia services.

At the moment, 22 Australian-registered major trading ships operate in the country’s water which is down from 55 in 1995. Only four of the vessels are dedicated to international trade. Further amendments are that depreciation rate will be cut from 20 years to 10 years and that tax offsets will be available to Australian employers of resident seafarers who work in international trade.

Anthony Albanese, Infrastructure Minister, explained that key themes behind the reform include the economy, national security and the environment. He said: “If we do not act now the Australian shipping industry will be lost forever.”

EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has given an ultimatum to her ex-fiancé after he sent an explicit picture to his former girlfriend.

The actress, who plays the character Kat Moon in the television soap, dumped her future husband Vince Morse when he sent a sex snap of her to his ex-fiancée Karen Short. She has now ordered him to get out of her house and to start looking for somewhere else to live.

Jessie, 39, had arranged crisis talks with the rat to possibly give him a second chance after she ditched him hours before calling off their wedding. However, when a newspaper exposed the meeting she cancelled it.

50 year-old Vince made most of his wealth through setting up a catering firm for film and TV. He is now reportedly hunting for a bachelor pad to rent in Richmond and Cobham, in Surrey because “he thinks he may as well enjoy life as a single man.”

The mother-of-one has publicly spoke about ending the relationship after finding out Morse had been unfaithful, saying she’;s “reached rock bottom”.

So as the creep starts looking at posh penthouses, perhaps the unlucky-in-love actress, who lives in Claygate in Surrey, will want to hire a removals firm to move him and all his belongings out in an effort to move on!
