National Savings The UK Department for National Savings was established in 1969, having previously been known as the Post Office Savings Department. It is responsible for administering a wide range of schemes for personal savers, including premium bonds, income bonds, and capital bonds. In addition the department has offered a range of National Savings Certificates on which the income is tax-free and the element of capital gain is free of capital gains tax. Since April 1999 the Department has also offered Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs). See also: National Savings Bank, National Savings Stock Register. |
