Regular Saver Accounts

    My query is about saving the maximum permitted amount in the array of regular saver accounts paying interest in excess of 6% rather than making extra capital mortgage repayments as the return is greater.

    One can also open accounts in their childrens' names. I know BoI and AIB allow this. Could there be any problems associated with this? As a thought, say if you did open accounts in childrens' names and then at a later decided to use the savings to pay off the mortgage or for another purpose, would there be a gift tax liability ie child to parent?

    I think the rule is that as long as your not giving ur child more than 40k per yr as a gift then its not taxable, but you might want to check that one out. However Im not sure you can then go and say "I want my money back"....
