    You can call it what you want if it yields 7.01% in September. :D

    at least it bounced the thread...just like this ;)

    Yes. But growth would mean that 7.01% would be tax free as part of your CGT allowance or taxed at 18% if CGT allowance used up. As its income its taxed at 20% or 40%

    I pulled out ny 20+k just incase. Straight into a Cheshire 3.75% fixed. I can live with the lost interest between the two as there was no breakage fee. Im sure it would have been fine, but I just like minimizing worry and these ARE extraordinary times.

    I have the 1 yr growth bond as well but are you sure there's not breakage fee? It says on the growth bond FAQ that there is on the website.

    Cheers
