SAVERS in Alloa will have the chance to make the most of the new tax year next weekend.

The Yorkshire Building Society branch in Alloa will be opening the doors on Saturday, April 6, for people looking to open an individual savings account (ISA) for the new year.

The High Street branch will be open from 9am to noon on the day with the team on hand to provide information on ISAs for existing members and new customers.

The mutual explained that opening an ISA on the very the first day of a new tax year means savers accrue tax-free interest on their account from the very earliest point in time.

Chris Irwin, director of savings at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “We know the first day of a new tax year is an important one for our customers so by opening our branches on the Saturday we hope savers will be able to take advantage and make their annual tax-free subscription count from day one.

“Helping people to save is a key part of our purpose at Yorkshire Building Society, offering customers a choice of access is vitally important.

“Making the first day of the new tax year accessible for our customers in a way that best suits them, be that in one of our branches, online or via our app, supports our aim to continue to provide real help to our customers and members.”

In recent years the first day of the tax year has seen demand for new Yorkshire Building Society accounts more than double.
