*Gross is the taxable rate of interest payable without the deduction of UK Income Tax.
**AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) enables you to compare interest rates from different financial institutions on a like-for-like basis. It shows what the notional annual rate would be if interest was compounded each time it was credited or paid out. Where interest is credited once a year the rate quoted and the AER will be the same.
***Tax-free means that the return is exempt from UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax at all rates of taxation.
At current rates of tax.
††As measured by the Retail Prices Index published by the Office for National Statistics.
