Interest received - was it taxed or untaxed?

I received about £160 interest on a Club Lloyds account
April 2016 - 2017


On my tax return does this go in the "Untaxed UK Interest - accounts that have not been taxed" box" or the "taxed UK Interest" box?


Was it April 2015 that the tax on interest changed?


TIA

    If you log into your account and go to messages you should have a tax statement from them. Mine arrived 28th April.

    Gross Interest Paid (no tax deducted) £72.85

    Mine states that no tax was deducted.
  • Dont know that particular account but if it was really interest then no tax should have been deducted but if it was a reward such as the Halifax account then tax could have been deducted (because it wasn't actually interest and would need to go in a different part of your tax return).

    So being as you had roughly 8 months at 4% AER (£5K x 4% / 12 x 8 = £133) and roughly 4 months at 2% AER (£5K x 2% / 12 x 4 = £33) - total £166 based on max £5K interest earning balance, it should be clear it was untaxed...if it was taxed it'd be 20% less at £133.

    See above.

    No. Only one more guess allowed. ;)

    Or if you look at the statements for 2016/17 it says 'interest (gross)..'

    Mine hasn't arrived yet so best not to assume that everyone gets them at the same time!

    Neither have mine, latest message I have is from June 2016.
    (plus an invitation to service review in September)


    Looking back, previous annual summary notifications came on;
    10th April 2015, 11th April 2016 - any idea why this years hasn't arrived yet?
