When we talk tax
The terms we use are based on current understanding of UK taxation. We're always reviewing our website to make sure that anything we say about tax is up to date.
- AER. The AER (or Annual Equivalent Rate) is the equivalent rate if interest was paid and compounded once a year.
- Gross rate. This is interest we pay without deducting income tax.
We don't deduct tax from any interest we pay you. If your interest is over your Personal Savings Allowance, you'll have to pay any tax directly to HM Revenue and Customs. It'll depend on your circumstances and it might change in the future. For more information please visit, www.gov.uk2.
