A great way to generate regular return from your investment. Interim interest isn't available on the one year PIE Term Deposit.

PIE Term Deposit

It works the same as a standard Term Deposit, but it could have tax advantages for you. Usually you’d pay your regular income tax on interest earned on savings accounts, which could be up to 39%. With a PIE, the maximum tax you’ll pay on the returns you earn is 28% – meaning you could keep more of your return in your pocket.
