  • RE: Interest on Children's savings account

    Hi Admin, Thanks for your response. Can you please elaborate on the original question of understanding the split between parent gifts money and grand parents gifts money. You state the interest (over £200 per couple) from a parent's gift is calculated against the parent's tax obligation. That link also states "The £100 limit doesn’t apply to money: given by grandparents, relatives or friends in a Junior ISA or Child Trust Fund" How do we show this split between gifts? Do we track the gifts forevermore and show a simple split on the interest? Or is it recommended to have 2 accounts, one for gifts from a parent and one for gifts from others? Thanks.
