TESSAs assessed
Article Abstract:
Tax Exempt Special Savings Accounts (TESSAs) are tax-free investment accounts which earn higher interest rates than most building society accounts on lower sums invested. A computer analysis of 135 different TESSAs helps the investor choose. These five-year plans allow regular, occasional and lump sum savings. Six months' notice is required for early withdrawal, on which 180 days' interest is payable. Some TESSAs offer bonuses. There are fixed rates, variable rates and feeder accounts.
