    Keep in mind interest paid before 06 April 2016 will have been paid net (unless you registered the account with us to receive gross interest).  Net is the rate of interest payable after allowing for the deduction of income tax at the rate specified by law (20% at the moment).

    From 06 April 2016 interest is paid gross, meaning we will not deduct tax on your behalf. Dependant on your personal circumstances, tax may be due on your interest and it is your responsibility to disclose and pay any tax due directly to HMRC.

  • As this account is just for 11 to 17 year olds, we'll automatically move you to a Classic Account once you turn 18.
