Interest rates

Interest rates are variable, paid annually.

Gross rate p.a.
Interest rate payable before any income tax is deducted. It can only be paid subject to the required registration.

Net rate p.a.
Interest rate payable after the deduction of income tax, at the lower rate of 20%.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. This will enable you to compare more easily the return you can expect from your savings over time.
