Question
You rate the BM Savings 5 Year Inflation Rate Bond (2) highly except that it is taxable. Can a non tax payer get the return without paying tax, either by completing an R85 or getting a refund via a tax return?Answer
Yes, non-taxpayers can enjoy gross returns as the interest is treated just like a conventional savings account. As you highlight, non-taxpayers can receive interest without deduction of tax by completing form R85, or reclaim any interest deducted via their tax return or using the HMRC R40 tax repayment form.
I rate the bond highly for its type, but as mentioned in the review there's not a clear cut case for linking savings returns to inflation over the next 5 years - a good fixed rate account might generate higher returns if inflation falls back.
