2016 tax savings on interest

Will the £1000 relief apply to interest earned or paid in 2016 i.e. if I have a 2 year bond due to mature in May 2016 will all the interst up to £1000 be tax free?

    Paid.
    But you may find that interest is paid into your account annually.

    Interest is taxable on the date it is actually received. This is the date it is added to the bond so if the first years interest was added to the bond in May 2015, it is taxable in 2015/16,
    even though you cannot get your hands on the money until May 2016
    The only thing that is constant is change.
