Definitions
*Gross Rate. Gross interest is interest payable without taking account of the deduction of income tax. For most customers tax will be deducted at the lower rate prevailing at the time of payment (presently 20%).
+AER. The Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.
† Includes a 1% bonus on the gross rate until 30th September 2009. From 1st October 2009 until the 30th September 2010, a bonus of 0.5% on the gross rate will apply.
**Net Rate. The net rate is the gross rate less tax at the lower rate of 20%. Tax at this rate will be deducted from accounts subject to tax at the time interest is paid. Non-taxpayers may register for payment of interest gross. Tax paid may be reclaimed, where appropriate, from the Inland Revenue.
++Tax Free - is the rate payable when interest is exempt from Income Tax.
