Hi,

We have this morning received a letter from HSBS agreeing to repay £1,756. :grin::grin::grin:

The total includes PPIicon, early settlement charges and interesticon for two loans.

Whilst we am delighted with the outcome, the letter states:

'You should note that this offer includes an element of gross interest amounting to £542.38. Subject to your personal tax status, this may be taxable and should be included in your tax return.'

Could someone please advise as to where we stand on the tax issue?

The account was in hubbys name and he is a basic rate tax payer with under £100 in savings in his own name. (Our saving are in my name, as I'm not currently earning.)

Thanks,
Tracy.
