    That's absolute rubbish - the taxman treated it the same as interest. In past years, as that was passed over by Halifax to the tax authorities, that could be reclaimed by people didn't have to pay tax on their savings. Halifax would not pay the reward without tax being taken off because they called it a reward. They would not let me fill in a form for tax-exempt interest. But it was still taxed in the same way. It therefore passed the tax to HMRC and has to be reclaimed. However, no tax is now charged so it seems Halifax are simply going to be pocketing this extra amount for themselves. Which is precisely what I expected them to do:( - they are now making more money by still only paying a £5 reward even though they now benefit and the reward "should" be higher because there isn't now any tax on it. I suspect most people will not realise this, and hence why I diarised at the beginning of the year to check what Halifax would do and to draw attention to it now on here. Even though there is nothing anyone can do about it - except to be aware that, without tax being charged anymore, by rights the reward should IMO now be higher.

    You won't be able to get the £1.25 back (I thought it was £1.25 so should be £6.25 not the £6 I had it as in my post) for the current tax year (after this ends) as no tax is now being taken off. They will still however be paying £5 even though they are not now taking any tax off.

    So, if you are looking at the Halifax Reward Account now, that £5 reward won't be very good anymore - as it now "should" be £6.25! We should all be lobbying them to increase the reward and switching away or not taking up the account until they do that.

    However even at that £5 reward, :(it is still quite good so us non-taxpayers will end up simply groaning and swallowing it, even though we will now lose out as there's no longer any tax being deducted that we can reclaim. Halifax are now not paying any tax (as none is now due) but instead are still paying a £5 reward and keeping the £1.25 a month for themselves on all Reward accounts, including accounts held by taxpayers who could not have claimed the tax back. So, celebrate the tax relief now being given to Halifax!:rotfl::(:(:mad:

    I might ask them the innocent question at the beginning of next month when I see £5 go in: "Why is Halifax paying only a £5 reward when £1.25 is now no longer being passed to the taxman?"
