Millions of pensioners are likely to join a rush to invest in new Pensioner Bonds after the Chancellor announced that they would pay 4 per cent interest over three years. George Osborne announced the bonds will have the “best available interest rates”, saying they would provide “certainty and comfort” for over 65s. One year bonds will pay an annual interest rate of 2.8 per cent, while three year bonds will pay 4 per cent. The new bonds are expected to sell out within weeks when they are released in January. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/11290450/Pensioner-bonds-to-pay-4-per-cent-rate-announces-George-Osborne.html The new Bonds at a glance What are the Bonds? Lump sum investments providing capital growth Choice of terms – 1-year and 3-year Designed to be held for whole term, but can be cashed in early with a penalty equivalent to 90 days’ interest When do they go on sale? January 2015 – exact date to be announced Available for a limited period Who can invest? Anyone aged 65 or over Invest by yourself or jointly with one other person aged 65 or over How much can I invest? Minimum for each investment £500 Maximum per person per Issue of each term £10,000 What about interest? 1-year Bond 2.80% gross/AER* 3-year Bond 4.00% gross/AER* Fixed rates, guaranteed for the whole term Interest added on each anniversary The tax position Interest taxable and paid net (with basic rate tax taken off) Higher and additional rate taxpayers will need to declare their interest to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and pay the extra tax due Non taxpayers, and those eligible to have any of their interest taxed at the new 0% rate (which starts from April 2015), can claim back the tax from HMRC Sorry, we’re not currently part of the R85 scheme so we can’t pay the interest gross on these Bonds *Gross is the taxable rate of interest before the deduction of UK Income Tax. AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) is a notional rate that illustrates what the annual rate of interest would be if the interest was compounded each time it was paid. Where interest is paid annually, the quoted rate and AER are the same. -

From today many more criminals will be made to pay towards supporting victims of crime. Currently offenders only contribute around one sixth of the funding that supports victims’ services. Hard-working taxpayers provide the rest. In a massive overhaul to the way services for victims and witnesses of crime are funded, the 'Victim Surcharge' is being increased and extended to apply to a far wider range of sentences. Extending the 'Victim Surcharge' is the next step in the Government's drive to see offenders provide up to £50 million more each year for victims services. This is on top of the £66 million already given by central Government. http://www.justice.gov.uk/news/features/new-rules-make-offenders-pay
