UK savers must watch interest thresholds: basic rate taxpayers get £1,000 tax-free, higher rate £500, via personal savings allowance.
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.
These limits depend on income levels, with the £10,000 and £20,000 figures representing key thresholds.
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.
Cash ISAs remain fully tax-free.
Exceeding thresholds may trigger tax on interest, so understanding how allowances interact is essential to avoid unexpected liabilities.
