Tax status

For sole traders and individual partnerships, if the total amount of interest you receive exceeds any Personal Savings Allowance to which you're entitled, you may have to pay tax at the applicable rate. This would need to be paid directly to HM Revenue & Customs. For more information, please visit gov.uk and search for 'Personal Savings Allowance'.
