Why do HMRC need to know interest earned with banks?

Although they don't call it interest, the £5 has already had tax deducted before you get it. Really it is £6.25 with £1.25 tax already deducted. So enter it under net interest 12 x £5 if you have a full 12 months.
If you are under your PA that £1.25 is reclaimable.
BTW.....putting in your return earlier does not mean you need to pay earlier, the payment date is still 31st January.0 -
Great, thanks. That is very helpful.
Would you opt for the pay a lump sum or if under £3000 (as is my case) pay via higher Nat Insurance contributions the next year ?0 -
You mean.....the tax you are due to pay is under £3000 so you could have it taken via a PAYE code?0
-
Yes, I think that was the option.0
-
I thought you were only self employed? In which case you are not in PAYE. Or are you employed as well?0
-
In any case, I think you have missed the deadline for submission if you wanted the tax taken via PAYE.0

I am glad that someone who probably files more returns than I do these days has brought this up.
Last week I filed two for clients who owed between £300 and £500. Just before filing I was given the option to have them coded out in 2014/15 (?) with a 30th December deadline. Both underpayments arose due to rental income and both were PAYE. I had never seen this option before.0 -
So the deadline is 30th December? Still time for the OP to file then.
But a 2014/15 code? That is surprising, I would have expected 2013/14.
I only file mine and OH's, but had heard of this option, though not used it. OH has extra tax to pay each year due to a foreign pension, but prefers to keep each year separate so elects for a balancing payment in January.0 -
No, it,s just myself working alone. The deadline for online is 31st Jan 2013.0

If you only have self-employed income then this makes no sense. You appear to be under a misapprehension somewhere along the line.The only thing that is constant is change.0
