Skipton International has launched an 18-month fixed-rate bond just a few weeks after Permanent Bank International produced its 18-month deal. The Skipton deal just beats Permanent on the interest rate, plus the minimum deposit required is smaller. The new Skipton International deal is 1.75pc on a minimum of £10,000. Permanent International’s 18-month version is 1.69pc on a minimum £20,000.
The interest rate from Skipton International also beats the Permanent Bank International three-year rate and comes close to the Nationwide International three-year deal of 1.85pc. It makes the current crop of one-year fixed-rate deals look less attractive. You can get 1.45pc from Nationwide International or 1.4pc from Permanent International fixed for one year; the former on a minimum investment of £50,000, the latter on £20,000. Santander also offers monthly income on its fixed-rate bonds.

HMRC proposals to dispense with private residence relief (PRR) could be a stumbling block for expat’s wealth management plans as significant amounts of capital gains tax relief could be lost if the proposals become law. But what is PRR, and what does PRR mean for new expats?
Anyone with Gibraltar wealth management concerns will almost certainly be dipping into the very depths of their patience presently as they await resolution of their status during the protracted and uncertain times of Brexit negotiation.
