An offset account is a separate savings account where the balance is offset daily against the loan amount. For example, if you have $5000 in your offset account, 'notional' interest is earnt on these funds, at the same interest rate as your linked loan. This 'notional' interest is offset against the interest payable on the loan.

It may be, depending on your personal circumstances. Under current legislation income tax is not payable because you earn no interest from the credit funds in the offset account as the benefits flow straight through to interest savings on your linked loan. Nor, under current legislation, is tax payable on the interest saved on your linked ANZ loan.
For example, say you have a balance of $5000 in ANZ One. Imagine that you are earning interest on the $5000 at the same rate as you are paying on your home loan, say, 7.55%. This interest would normally be paid into a traditional every day account, and you'd pay tax on it. However, with ANZ One, this interest is deducted from the interest payable on your linked ANZ loan, creating a saving which works to reduce the length of your loan. Please note that ANZ believes that the legal and taxation consequences are as described. However, ANZ does not offer any legal or taxation advice to customers. We recommend you obtain your own professional advice regarding the taxation implications.
