Savings Rates And Tax Free Savings In Aus.
Can anybody tell me a website which details interest rates on Savings accounts for banks in Australia ?
Also, do they allow a certain amount of tax free savings similar to our ISA's/TESSA's in England ? Thanks Chris |

You will have to transfer the money via a "transaction" bank account (note that in Oz both cheque accounts and savings accounts are transaction accounts - so you can pay bills, transfer money, etc from your savings account). With regard to the OP; there does not seem to be any tax free savings schemes here. The only thing that comes close is an Insurance Bond which pays out after 10 years tax free (however it is taxed as it goes along but at 30%, rather than through your tax return - so this is only of use for higher earners).
