Why is there tax deducted from my ISA?

I have a 2 year FR Major ISA with Santander. I just looked now to see an interest payment on 2 May of £32.09 after £8.02 tax deducted? Why? It's a tax free account? It was funded by a transfer on 19 March from another BS. Confused.:(
And I'm sick of trying to sort out problems with Santander. :mad:

The £8.02 tax deducted represents 20% of the original £40.11 interest.
I guess the obvious question is whether your money is actually in an ISA account?
If the account is definitely showing up as an ISA, I'd submit a query to Santander to ask why tax was deducted from a tax-free account.0 -

Mine says "INTEREST PAID AFTER TAX 0.00 DEDUCTED" - It also says "FIXED RATE ISA" in the account name. :-)0

I forgot the interest would be paid on this account today.
I've checked mine and my husband's and they both read as Vortigern quoted.0 -
I too have a 2 year fixed rate major ISA with Santander, and had no tax deducted:

Make sure that any correction is restored within the ISA. But if they offer you any compensation aditionally .... that will have to be outside the ISA.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0

Anyway I looked again 40mins and they have now corrected (added back the £8.02 missing) with no correction for anything that might have been lost in the 12 days (the transaction is dated 14 May, mistake was 2 May and I told them 3 May). I asked for an explanation - not got that. But 2 days ago I sent a Secure message as it had not been done asking for explanation so I better see a few days for that to happen (or not).0
