Tax-free savings: Nationwide not playing ball

lward88

Just called to register for low-income tax-free savings for the period from now up until April 2016, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Two managers consulted and still they were baffled. Anyone had any problems with this? Thanks.

You can fill in an R85 online: http://www.nationwide.co.uk/support/support-articles/tax/r85-form-tax-form-information

Could be they are baffled because the system you are talking about only comes into force on 6th April 2016.

Until then you have to register with your bank / building society with a R85 form for every account you wish not to pay tax on.

This form is available from the government tax website as a PDF form you can print off.

Whilst you are there look at the rules which are coming in for the next year. It is all there.
