At the end of the tax year (4 April), there will be s statement of income earned that year which will be accessible via the website. Declare any interest earned via your tax return as interest not taxed at source, or inform HMRC directly, eg via a letter, if you do not normally complete a tax return.I am one of the Dogs of the Index.0

ChesterDog is spot on. Just me being a bit pedantic but end of tax year is 5th April... you have one more day
If you complete self assessment online, you must do this before 31st Jan the following year, or by 31st October the same year if done by post."If you will change, everything will change for you." - Jim Rohn
I simply use these forums to share my knowledge, reinforce my learning and experience as an IFA. Please remember, if your circumstances are complex, speak with your local IFA from Unbiased or VouchedFor directories for regulated financial advice.0 -

That is correct. Although there might be exceptions I suppose.I am one of the Dogs of the Index.0

The other thing to remember is that you have to declare the total interest earned. You cannot offset any losses you may have incurred (through defaults) against interest earned.0
