One Third of Savers Expect to Save More This Year
Savers are expecting to save more this year yet are unaware that the interest earned on their savings could result in being eligible to pay tax. Almost a third (31%) of savers are expecting to save more and almost half (44%) expect to save the same. However, according to the latest survey by NatWest, more than one in three (36%) do not know they may be eligible to pay tax on the interest earned on their savings.
The new tax year started on 6 April. Consumers can deposit up to £20k per tax year into an ISA without having to pay tax on the interest. It is also possible to transfer balances from an existing ISA account.
Generation Z, those aged 18 to 24, are least aware that they might be liable to pay tax on the interest they earn. Savers aged 65 and over are most likely to know they may be eligible to pay tax on their savings interest, with 86% aware, double the proportion of young people (43%). Older savers often have larger balances and are the demographic most likely to have £40,000 or more in their account.
Almost seven in ten (69%) savers expect to earn interest on their savings this year and could be eligible to pay tax on the interest they earn. In the year ahead one in three (31%) are planning to save more, meaning this number could grow further in the year ahead.
To encourage savers to make the most of their allowance, NatWest is offering 4.6% interest on a one-year fixed rate ISA.
Lewis Broadie, NatWest Savings Expert said: “Whatever your savings goals, let’s get saving. Whether you’re looking to save for something special or building a rainy-day fund, start the tax year strong and make the most of your tax-free ISA allowance to help you achieve your savings goals.”
