Tax return: which year should bank account interest be declared in?

in Cutting tax
Got my tax return for the 09-10 year pretty much done 
One small thing I wasn't sure about. I opened a bank account part way through this year. No interest was credited to the account in this year (paid annually, so came in the current year) and the bank suggested that I should declare this interest in the year it was paid in. Is this correct?

What they mean is if you rcvd it in 2010/11, it should be declared in next year's rtn (ie 2010/11). Simples.Value-for-money-for-me-puhleeze!

Quite correct. Interest is taxable when paid ...... not when accrued.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -
