*Savings Rate Equivalent = the gross yield a fully-taxable savings account or bond would need to match this gilt's net yield, at that tax rate. Gilt coupons are taxed as income — at the rate in force when each is paid, which rises by 2 percentage points (to 22/42/47%) from 6 April 2027; the capital gain to par is exempt from CGT. Figures don't include your Personal Savings Allowance, so they're conservative. How we calculate this.
TG49 is the UK Treasury gilt "1 3/4% Treasury Gilt 2049", paying a 1.75% annual coupon and redeeming at par (£100) on 22 January 2049 — about 22.2 years away. At its 27 Oct 2026 closing price of £50.12 the gross redemption yield is 5.754%. Because the coupon is low and the price is well below par, most of the return comes as the tax-free pull to par (a £4,988 capital gain per £10,000 nominal, exempt from CGT) rather than as taxable coupon income. That makes it unusually efficient for higher- and additional-rate taxpayers: an additional-rate (45%) payer keeps a net yield of 4.50% — to match that after tax, a fully-taxable savings account or bond would need to pay about 8.49% gross (allowing for the 2027 rise in tax on savings income, as in the table below). That is how gilts are taxed in practice: gilt coupons are taxed as income, while the capital gain is free of capital gains tax on any disposal — at redemption or an earlier sale — though interest accrued since the last coupon is taxed as income when you sell.
