Form R 85

[kjn2]

If the interest period is from the 16.12.09 to the 16.6.10 and the form R 85 was signed on the 13th April 2010 does the bank deduct tax up to the date the R85 was signed or do they not deduct any tax as the interest was paid on the16th June 2010 i.e. after the form R85 was signed.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the relevant date is the date on which ithe interest was paid. If the R85 was in place then it should be tax free, provided you were still a non-tax payer as at that date.
But check with the HMRC to be sure

You have confirmed my thinking ,( interest should have been paid gross,) have checked the HMRC site and this seems to confirm also. in their roundabout ways of explaining
Many Thanks
