Tax treatment of a 1 year Fixed Rate bond

if i park some money in a 1 year fixed term bond account (May05) the interest is credited to my account at maturity (May 06). does that mean the entire interest on the bond needn't be declared till i fill in my tax form for the year ending April 07?
if so that's a nice little pick up for a high rate tax payer i believe.

I think you may find that the interest credited will be less tax @20%.0

i know but a 40% tax payer must declare the interest earnt on his tax form and pay an additional 20% at that time.
the question is does one have to declare interest accrued even though it has not been credited as per the example in my original post.

No - declare it when it has been paid (when you get your interest certificate from the bank/building soc.):j0 -
so my hunch was right. thanks.0
