So my UB savings account pays quarterly. Q4 2012 will fully accrue when DIRT is 30%.

Interest will be paid early Jan 2013, when rate is 33%.

So do I pay 30% or 33% on my interest?
 
Unfortunately I think it will be 33% as it is the rate on the date the interest is paid.

I am in the same boat with a 12 month term deposit maturing in February.

Shows the advantage of the new "Interest first" accounts.
 
Yeah, the DIRT rate is based on pay date.

If you are paid in early January 2013, then the rate is 33%.

If you are paid on 31 December 2012, which is often the case, the rate will be 30%.
 
In addition to the dirt tax there also another 3 or 4% usc was applicable on my tax returns for 2011 think it still applies
