Certificate of Interest

Hi,

My accountant is baying for a 'certificate of interest' for all my acounts.

Do I actually need this, or is a statement with all the interest payments from that period showing acceptable?

Thanks!

    Inland revenue will want certificates of interest if they query your tax return.
