Definitions
Tax-free means the interest is exempt from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) is a notional rate that illustrates what the annual rate of interest would be if the interest was compounded each time it was paid. Where interest is paid annually, the quoted rate and the AER are the same.
