Real yields are returns above RPI inflation. The coupon (including its inflation uplift) is taxed as income โ 2 percentage points more from 6 April 2027 (22/42/47%); the inflation uplift on the principal is free of CGT. Figures don't include your Personal Savings Allowance. How we calculate this.
T2IL is the UK index-linked gilt "2% Index-linked Treasury Stock 2035", maturing 26 January 2035. Both its coupon and its principal are uplifted by RPI inflation, so the quoted real yield of 1.780% is the return you earn on top of inflation. As an old-style 8-month linker its quoted real yield assumes 2% inflation, so no market-implied break-even is shown. The inflation uplift on the principal is free of capital gains tax; the (inflation-uplifted) coupon is taxable as income. That is index-linked gilt tax treatment in practice. Compare it with a conventional gilt. Note: UK index-linked gilts have no deflation floor โ sustained deflation can reduce the redemption value below par.
