Tax question - ING
heatherw_01
Posts: 6,852 Ambassador
I took out a ING Direct savings plan and had the option to choose taxpayer or non taxpayer. I chose taxpayer as I didn't realise that as I don't work I shouldn't have to pay tax. Is this correct?
How can I change my plan to a non taxpayer account?

Get a R85 form from your bank or tax office to declare that you are a non-tax payer.
If you claim want to claim back tax you have paid prior to 6/4/05, that you should not have paid, then you need to claim that back from the tax office.0 -
Its not just about if you work; you can claim your interest tax unpaid upto your personal allowances once you have deducted all other sources of income, i.e. other interest, probably any benefits (although I haven't actually reasearched this), plus I'm not sure if maitenance payments, etc count towards your allowance. Obviously these may not be relevant but its worth bearing any sources of income in mind.

Once you complete the R85 form, the ING site says you must send it to the following address:
ING Direct
FREEPOST NATW1784
Reading
Berkshire

Here is a link to the ING Direct 'Register for Gross Interest page'. It features links to the Inland Revenue's R85 form download page.Please call me 'Kazza'.0 -
You also need to get an R40 form for the previous tax year, This will enable you get the tax back on 2004/05 - This form is obtained from and sent back to the Inland Revenue0

No. These are personal allowances. Not to be confused with household income, like when applying for benefits or credits.
