Standard Life International Bond

The award-winning International Bond from Standard Life is a tax-efficient bond that gives investors more control over when to pay tax. While invested in an offshore bond, investors won’t normally pay tax on any growth*. Instead, tax is paid when money is taken out of the bond and will be based on the circumstances of the investor at that time. It is designed to help customers with a range of needs including estate and retirement planning, education funding or more general medium to long term savings requirements. It can also be useful if planning to move abroad in the future.

Laws and tax rules may change in the future. The information here is based on our understanding in September 2012. Your personal circumstances also have an impact on tax treatment.

* There may also be withholding tax payable on certain investment funds. This is a tax that some countries deduct from dividends and interest payments to foreign investors.
