flag UK savers must watch interest thresholds: basic rate taxpayers get £1,000 tax-free, higher rate £500, via personal savings allowance.

flag Martin Lewis warns UK savers about tax thresholds affecting savings interest, explaining that basic rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 in interest tax-free under the personal savings allowance, while higher rate taxpayers get £500. flag These limits depend on income levels, with the £10,000 and £20,000 figures representing key thresholds. flag He clarifies that the personal savings allowance is separate from the £12,570 personal allowance and the starting rate savings allowance, which phases out as income rises. flag Cash ISAs remain fully tax-free. flag Exceeding thresholds may trigger tax on interest, so understanding how allowances interact is essential to avoid unexpected liabilities.
