Have you thought of joining the Labour Party. We need more smart cookies like you.

Do you get taxed on the interest? Tax on tax is it - I'm confused?

How safe are my business savings?

Does anyone know if businesses have the same protection from the government regarding business reserves (savings) held in UK banks?

Does this protection also apply to savings held in foreign owned banks such as Abbey and ING?
