Capital and Income Deposits
Under current Tax Rules, there are potential advantages for individuals who are resident, but non-domiciled in the UK to bank offshore.
The key to an appropriate structure to maximise the advantage is the ability to separate capital and interest. Capital can be remitted to the UK tax-free, however, interest must remain outside the jurisdiction of the UK to retain its tax-free status.
In order to separate capital and interest, accrued interest must not be credited to, or mixed with the capital element. As such, at maturity, any interest accrued must be paid directly to a stand alone interest account. The client must clearly distinguish between the capital element of their deposit, and the interest element of their deposit.
As such, part(s) of the capital element can be remitted into the UK without tax liability, while the interest element can either remain offshore, or be remitted to another jurisdiction other than the UK.

# Gross rates are fixed. Interest will be paid without the deduction of income tax to all depositors, (Exchange of Information will apply to all depositors resident in the EU). However it is the responsibility of individuals to discharge any tax liability they may have.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest were paid and compounded each year. As every advert for a savings product that quotes an interest rate will contain and AER, you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.
