127. Charge to tax.

Tax is charged on interest¹. Income tax is charged on the full amount of the interest arising in the tax year; and the person liable for any tax so charged is the person receiving or entitled to the interest². This is subject to the application of the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA), which provides that from 6 April 2016 basic-rate taxpayers do not pay tax on the first £1,000 of savings income including interest earned on bank current accounts; higher-rate taxpayers can earn up to £500 of savings income tax free, but additional rate taxpayers have no PSA
