You might have to pay tax on any interest that exceeds your Personal Savings Allowance (PSA). How your account is taxed will depend on your personal situation.
The tax information we provide is based on the laws and HMRC guidance as we currently understand them, but these may be updated in the future. For further details, please refer to the HMRC website.

Gross*
