💰 Personal Savings Allowance: Keep More of Your Interest! 💰 

 

Want to earn tax-free interest on your savings? Here’s what you need to know about the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA) in the UK! 👇 

 

✨ What is the PSA? 

 

It’s the amount of interest you can earn without paying tax! 💸 

 

Basic rate taxpayers (20%) – Up to £1,000 tax-free. 

 

Higher rate taxpayers (40%) – Up to £500 tax-free. 

 

Additional rate taxpayers (45%) – ❌ No allowance. 

 

✨ How Does It Work? 

 

Banks now pay interest gross (without tax deducted). If you exceed your PSA, HMRC collects the tax automatically through PAYE or Self-Assessment. This makes it easier for savers to enjoy their interest earnings without worrying about complicated tax paperwork. 

 

✨ What Savings Are Covered? 

✅ Bank & building society accounts 

✅ Savings accounts 

✅ Credit unions 

✅ Bonds 

✅ Peer-to-peer lending 

❌ ISAs are always tax-free! 

 

✨ How to Maximise Your PSA? 

 

✔️ Choose high-interest accounts 📈 – The higher the rate, the more tax-free interest you can earn. 

 

✔️ Use ISAs for extra tax-free savings 🚀 – Since ISAs don’t count toward your PSA, they’re a great way to protect your interest from tax. 

 

✔️ Distribute savings wisely (e.g., between partners) 👩‍❤️‍👨 – If one partner is in a lower tax bracket, holding more savings in their name can help maximise tax-free interest. 

 

✔️ Track your interest earnings 💡 – Regularly review your savings and earnings to ensure you stay within your PSA and avoid unexpected tax charges. 

 

✔️ Consider fixed-rate savings 📊 – Locking in your money for a set period can sometimes offer higher interest rates, boosting your overall tax-free earnings. 

 

💡 Final Thought: The PSA is a great way to keep more of your hard-earned cash! With smart saving strategies, you can make your money work smarter, not harder. Don’t leave money on the table, maximise your tax-free interest today! 💪💰
