The Gross rate is the contractual rate of interest payable before deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law (currently 20%).
The Net rate is the rate paid after income tax has been deducted (currently 20%).
The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) is a notional rate which illustrates what the gross interest rate would be if interest was paid and added to the account annually. AERs on an account which pays monthly interest assumes interest is added to the account at the end of each month during the year. In practice, the option to have interest added in this way is not available on our monthly interest options.
The Tax-free rate is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
Tax treatment and rate of interest payable will depend on individual circumstances and may change in the future. Net rates are illustrative only and have been rounded to two decimal places.
We calculate interest on the balance of your account at the end of each day. You earn interest from the day you pay funds into your account until the day before you withdraw your funds.
Personal Accounts
Cash Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) pay interest tax-free provided all terms and conditions of the account are met. On all other personal accounts, interest will be paid at the net rate after the appropriate rate of income tax (currently 20%) has been deducted, or gross on receipt of the required declaration form. Where interest is paid net, the income tax may be reclaimed if the amount deducted exceeds the investor's tax liability. Higher rate taxpayers will have to pay the extra due (the difference between tax deducted at 20% and the higher/additional rate).
Business Accounts
Interest paid will be at the net rate after the appropriate rate of income tax (currently 20%) has been deducted, or gross if declared on the application form. An account holder who is an individual may be liable to assessment to income tax at a higher rate upon the gross equivalent amount of interest received.
The receipt of interest gross by a company will not prevent that interest being liable to corporation tax. Where an account holder who is a company (as defined by S832(1) ICTA 1988) receives interest after deduction of income tax at the appropriate rate it will receive credit for the income tax suffered against its own liability to account for income tax on certain payments under schedule 16 ICTA 1988. In cases where such income tax exceeds the company’s liability so to account, the company may under S7(2) ICTA 1988 set the excess off against its corporation tax liability or, where the amount of its corporate tax liability is less, claim a repayment.
Council Accounts
Interest on Council Accounts will be paid with no tax deducted.
