Thu 04 Apr 2009Ulster Bank and First Active under-deducted Dirt
AT LEAST 13,000 Ulster Bank and First Active customers have been told their banks under-deducted Deposit Interest Retention Tax (Dirt) on their savings accounts. The two banks have written to affected customers in the past week about the miscalculation of Dirt. A spokeswoman for Ulster Bank said letters had been sent to 6,500 customers of its subsidiary, First Active.
She declined to say how many Ulster Bank customers were affected but indicated it was greater than the number of First Active cases, but small in the context of the two banks’ 1.9 million customer base.
