EXPLANATORY NOTES

The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) represents the annual rate effectively received by the customer if interest at the gross rate applied during a year remained in the account and itself earned interest. As every advert for a savings product where a rate is displayed will contain an AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

Gross: the rate of interest paid without deduction of tax to eligible non-taxpayers:

  1. incorporated bodies such as limited companies, pension funds, charities, churches, societies, associations, clubs
  2. individuals not ordinarily resident in the UK who have completed the necessary Inland Revenue declaration
  3. non-taxpaying UK residents who have completed an Inland Revenue form R85 and lodged it with Bank of Scotland. Form R85 and an Inland Revenue explanatory leaflet (IR110) are available from all Bank of Scotland branches and from Corporate Customer Services

For customers with joint accounts for two persons, where one person can complete form R85 to have interest paid gross but the other person cannot, Bank of Scotland is offering the facility to have 50% of the interest paid gross and 50% paid net. All Bank of Scotland branches and Bank of Scotland Corporate Customer Services will give further information on this facility.

Current comparative interest rate information can be found on the British Bankers Association website www.bba.org.uk (opens new window)
