flag UK expert warns savers over £20K may face interest tax due to inflation and frozen tax bands.

flag UK financial expert Martin Lewis warns savers with over £20,000 in savings to prepare for potential tax on interest income, as frozen tax bands since 2021 are causing inflation-driven "fiscal drag." flag With interest rates around 5%, £20,000 in savings generates £1,000 in annual interest—exactly the tax-free personal savings allowance for basic rate taxpayers. flag Higher and top rate earners face tax on all interest. flag Lewis urges proactive planning, including using tax-free ISAs, especially before April 2027 when cash ISA limits drop to £12,000.
