With the change to banks and building societies now paying interest 'gross' rather than 'net'  i.e. with no deduction for tax, under the new tax rules.......has anyone else noticed that the meagre percentage paid has remained the same?

In other words, they have simply pocketed the tax that they used to deduct.

Halifax Bank have done this and I'm sure there will be others.

But the fact that we can claim it back must mean that it's interest under HMRC rules.......otherwise HMRC wouldn't pay it back as interest.

Also, Halifax send you a statement showing it as interest.

I think they are stretching a point to save re-printing their literature.
