During the course of day to day work you will see claims where it is clear that the claimant is not liable to tax and should register their bank or building society account for gross interest. If you discover a suitable ‘R85’ case process the claim in the usual way (including issuing the R40 for the following year where appropriate) but also issue a letter to the claimant enclosing the R85 and R85 Helpsheet.
Note that from April 2016 the Personal Savings Allowance and Dividend Tax Allowance apply and repayments are not usually appropriate.
