    The bond is taxed at source and as long as you dont become a higher rate taxpayer (or close to one), there is no further tax to pay.

    I'm not sure if prudential do an offshore bond but just in case, there would be tax to pay in this case.

    With onshore bond it's as Dunstonh says - no tax unless the top slicing relief takes you into higher rate tax.
