What is tax-free interest?

We give you interest on the money you put away in your cash ISA. You don’t have to pay UK income tax or capital gains tax on this interest. It doesn’t count towards your Personal Savings Allowance and you don’t need to put it on your tax return.

You can earn up to £1,000 a year on your savings tax-free if you pay the basic rate of tax and up to £500 a year if you pay the higher rate of tax. This is called your Personal Savings Allowance. Interest on your savings is now paid without tax being taken off. The interest from ISAs doesn’t count towards your Personal Savings Allowance.
