Regular monthly saving (of any sum from £1 to £10) in the Halifax ‘Save-As-You-Eam’ scheme will bring you a tax-free bonus equivalent to one year’s saving at the end of five years. After seven years this tax-free bonus is doubled! The bonus is equal to a compound rate of 7 per
cent per annum (approx.), representing a gross return of about 12 per cent per annum to those paying the standard rate of tax of 41-25’per cent. Ask for our brochure about S. A.Y.E. at your local Halifax office or agency.
