They are not really tax free either. The rate of return relative to commercial deposits has been reduced to more than make up for the tax. Like everything from government, a total fraud.

My parents have a £10k investment and they won a £1000 prize and a couple of smaller prizes in their first year. You're not going to get 10% on the high-street anywhere.Comment

Originally posted by rootsnallNS&I index linked - 10.25% gross for higher rate taxpayers, so the ad says at the moment ( http://www.nsandi.com/products/ilsc/index.jsp ), probably unbeatable at the moment if you are happy to tuck it away. Even better than 'boomed' house prices !
Limited to £15k per person methinks, but good tax-free rate nonetheless. Am awaiting BoE rate rises before going for a fixed rate bond.Comment
