PERSONAL SAVING ALLOWANCE

From April 2016 the Government is introducing a Personal Savings Allowance which will exempt

the first £1,000 of savings income from tax for basic rate taxpayers and the first £500 for higher

rate taxpayers. This is in addition to the other allowances. From that same date there will no

longer be the automatic deduction of 20% income tax by banks and building societies on non-ISA

savings. From April 2016 there is also a new £5,000 dividend allowance for those who receive

dividend income.
