Definitions

  • Tax-free means that the interest or prizes are exempt from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
  • AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) 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.
  • Gross is the taxable rate of interest without the deduction of UK Income Tax.
