Tax information

The value to you of tax benefits will depend on your own circumstances.

From 6 April 2004, the tax credit of 10% previously available on dividends from equity based funds is no longer reclaimable. Cash deposits and fixed interest investments continue to benefit from a 20% tax reclaim on interest distributions. This is subject to current tax legislation and is not guaranteed as ISA rules could change in the future.

Details of the latest estimated yields and prices for all funds can be found in the Prices section of this website or can be obtained by calling us on 0800 390 390. Prices for a selected range of funds also appear daily in the Financial Times.
