Barclays Business Current Account Unarranged Borrowing Rate
If your current account goes overdrawn without prior arrangement, you will be charged at the Unarranged Borrowing Rate. The interest rate for borrowing without an agreed overdraft facility is generally 15% unless we have agreed a different rate with you.
Gross is the rate of interest payable without the deduction of tax.
AER (Annual Equivalent Rate) is a notional rate which illustrates the contractual interest rate (excluding any conditional bonus payable) as if paid and compounded on an annual basis.
Important information about tax on interest earned
In accordance with UK tax legislation, from 6 April 2016 interest is paid gross. For UK resident individuals (including sole traders or partnerships), if you are a UK taxpayer you may have to pay tax on interest earned in excess of your Personal Savings Allowance. For information and guidance please refer to HMRC’s website www.hmrc.gov.uk^.
The management of your tax affairs is your responsibility, including making any required declarations to the relevant tax authority(ies), where you are tax resident.
