Dan Neidle: NatWest early withdrawal penalty taxed despite loss of interest
NatWest taxed saver on lost interest

A customer who withdrew money early from a NatWest fixed-term savings account faced an unexpected tax complication. Dan Neidle highlighted that although NatWest imposed an early closure charge equal to 90 days of interest, the customer was still taxed on that lost interest.

Neidle raised concerns about whose responsibility this is and questioned how this issue can be resolved.

Neidle has a history of scrutinizing UK tax issues in detail. He previously cited a report from British Progress proposing fixes to marginal rate problems in the tax system. He has also commented on a court case ruling that large marshmallows are not VAT-prepared foods after extended hearings.
