Definitions

*Gross Rate. Gross Rate interest is interest payable without taking account of the deduction of income tax. For most customers tax will be deducted at the basic rate prevailing at the time of payment (currently 20%).

**Net Rate. Net Rate is the Gross Rate less income tax at the basic rate (currently 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 HM Revenue & Customs. Higher rate taxpayers may be liable to additional taxation according to their individual circumstances.

++AER. The Annual Equivalent Rate illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

†EAR (Effective Annual Rate). The Effective Annual Rate is used to express the cost of borrowing on current accounts. The EAR takes account of the rate of interest charged, the frequency it is levied to accounts and compounding of interest. It does not include overdraft fees and is variable.
