HMRC have confirmed that the official rate of interest will remain unchanged for 2008-09. The income tax paid by an employee on a cheap or subsidised loan provided by their employer is based on the difference between the interest rate actually charged and what is known as the 'official rate' of interest. At present the official rate is 6.25% and HMRC have confirmed that this will be frozen for the 2008-09 tax year, subject to review in the event of significant rate changes. Link |
