It will show up on your bank statement.
It should show 20% deducted at source and if you are a 40% taxpayer you have to pay the extra to HMRC.0 -

Savings are never taxed at 40%, only ever at 20% or tax free.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer it's your responsibility to declare any income.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
