Take our cost of living crisis quiz so you don't get caught out by spiralling bills

With households increasingly feeling the pinch amid the country's growing cost of living crisis, it can be tempting to bury your head in the sand. But knowledge is power and it's important to keep up to date with the latest changes affecting your monthly bills.

Higher energy prices are not the only issue facing billpayers, with tax rises and reductions in state pandemic support increasing costs for businesses and, ultimately, leading to higher prices for customers. The cost of buying a pub meal, soft drink or hotel stay could also become more expensive as VAT levels across the hospitality sector lift back to 20%.

The national insurance tax rise comes into force from April 6. And fuel prices have also reached record highs in recent weeks amid a rise in oil prices following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Take our quiz below to check your knowledge of all the latest changes affecting your money and bills from April 2022.
