Got questions?

Yes. An individual, company or trust can specify the income tax rate at which tax is deducted from the credit interest paid on their savings accounts (including the new 39% top rate of income tax). If you have not told us which tax rate to apply, we will generally apply the default rate of 33% to individuals and trusts and 28% to companies. However we have to apply a tax rate of 45% if we do not have your IRD number (even if you choose a lower rate).
