*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.
TR28 is the UK Treasury gilt "6% Treasury Stock 2028", paying a 6% annual coupon and redeeming at par (£100) on 7 December 2028 — about 2.1 years away. At its 26 Oct 2026 closing price of £102.47 the gross redemption yield is 4.754%. It trades above par, so part of the price is returned as a capital loss to maturity (which is not allowable for CGT). Most of the return is taxable coupon income, so the after-tax yield falls more steeply with your tax rate — a 45% taxpayer keeps 1.99% net. 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.
