    Tipton Regular Saver

    Just received this in the Tipton app. 

    On selecting an option, without ANY further information, it asks me to confirm my choice. 
    I’ve made no choice yet. 
    (Ideally I just want an easy access account to keep a relationship with Tipton.)

    If I choose one of the options, are further details available, and if I don’t like what I read, is it possible to return to make another choice. 
    Thanks for reading and any clarification.

    Tipton Regular Saver

    I've had the same notification in the app as Digital_Payback. Confused! Can anyone clarify?

    In the past the app functionality has pre-dated the email they’ll send you outlining your choices. Once you’ve received the email, you’ll have the information you need to make your choices. 

    I agree, you’d expect the options to be displayed in-app. It’s a weird mixture - paper (well, email) options that you then confirm in-app, basically.

    (The Tipton app incidentally is pretty glitchy. I logged in today and it’s displaying data for a closed bond of January 23, quite randomly! Hopefully they’ll invest in some improved functionality.)

    I've got two old accounts still showing in the app - I phoned Tipton ages ago, was told that IT knew about it.  Nothing has happened since.

    Virgin RS

    Just checked my account and can confirm the first (quarterly) interest has been added to my balance. In my case, £6.16

    Edit: Just noticed that there is a separate thread for this product  🤦

    Could you figure out what they mean by Automatic Rollover?

    I'd love to play the regular saver game with accounts, but don't want the hassle of £1000+ interest and the associated tax return.

    You only need to do a tax return if you receive £10,000/interest per year (unless something else triggers it)

    See https://www.gov.uk/check-if-you-need-tax-return



    AMAZING!! I'll have to do one this year as I've had some rental income, but I'm selling the house at the moment so 24/25 will arguably be a year I'm not obliged to do a return. Unless they do one more year just to check?

    I'm afraid you will need to continue with the tax returns. Once you start doing tax returns you have to keep doing them until HMRC tell you they don't need you to submit anymore.

    We are in 24/25 now so if there has been any rental income on April 6th 2024 or later, you’ll need to do one. You could then tell HMRC that you are no longer a landlord and hopefully they won’t ask you to do one the next year - but if they do you need to do it or get them to agree to withdraw it. If you don’t complete the return because they should already have been aware it wasn’t needed, it’ll be a penalty.
