return simply comprises interest income with no potential for capital growth.

term or when withdrawn.
Are non-taxpayers taxed on interest received income? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Non-tax payers, such as those with very low income, were able to
submit a form known as an "R85" to HMRC, and once approved, interest was
paid gross with no deduction of tax at source.

deposits.

What are the disadvantages of investing cash? - CORRECT
ANSWER--Deposit-taking institutions are of varying creditworthiness; the risk
that they may default needs to be assessed and taken into account.
-Inflation reduces the real return that is being earned on cash deposits and could
