Can a Grandparent Open a Young Savers Account for a Child?
Yes, a grandparent can open a savings account for their grandchild under the child's name. However, they need to provide documentation, such as the child's birth certificate, proof of address etc.
How Much Money Can Grandparents Gift to Grandchildren?
Grandparents can gift up to £3,000 in one tax year without incurring inheritance tax. If the full £3,000 allowance isn't used, it can be carried over to the next tax year, up to a maximum of £6,000. Additionally, small gifts of up to £250 can be given to as many people as desired, but not more than £250 to any one person within a tax year. This rule prevents combining the £250 gift with other allowances.
Are Children's Accounts Tax-Free?
Children's accounts, excluding Junior ISAs, are not tax-free. Contrary to a common misconception, children are subject to tax on their savings just like adults. For more information, contact your local Tax Office.
If a parent gifts money to their child and the interest exceeds £100 annually, the interest contributes to the parent's personal savings allowance and may be taxable based on personal circumstances. This rule applies if the interest on the gift, added to any interest previously paid, surpasses a gross interest payment of £100. The rule is applied individually to each parent and considers all accounts held for the child, excluding parental contributions to a Junior ISA.
Can I Open an Account for a Baby?
Absolutely, you can open a savings account for a baby under your own name. Starting early provides a means to save for your child's future financial needs.
Note: This account is designed specifically for customers aged 18 or under (or parents/grandparents/legal guardians of the child who wish to open an account on behalf of the child - no other family members can open the account such as brother, sister, aunts, uncles etc.) who are looking to deposit monies with instant access. Our Savings products are only available to new applicants residing in Wales or existing members (living in the United Kingdom).
