Thought readers might like to know how the hell we are going to fill in our
2008/2009 returns.... here is the definitive (not) answer from an email I sent to the FSAUnfortunately online accounts are closed, you will not be able to access it.
Interest is calculated as per the terms and conditions you have signed up with Icesave. If you have provided a R85 form when you opened the account, you will be paid gross. If not it will be calculated as net.
The FSCS does not hold any information in regards to tax calculations for Icesave accounts. We can advise you that HM Customs is aware of the matter. Therefore you should contact the Inland Revenue directly for any such queries.
Furthermore as the FSCS does not operate as a bank or deposit taking institution we will not be issuing any bank statements.
Please refer to our website for further information, which contains Frequently Asked Questions about Icesave
However, if you are still unsure about any matter, please call our helpline on: 0207 892 7300. We will try to respond to your query as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
