Self assessment - Allowed to deduct packaged account fees?

Hello,

Whilst packaged accounts give interest, I was wondering whether it is allowed to deduct monthly fee when doing self assessment ?
I am relationship expert. Don't feel shy, say hello.

    What is the account fee covering?  Phone insurance, breakdown cover, access to other services?  Would you expect HMRC (ie tax payers overall) to make a contribution to your insurance cover and cost of running your life in general?

    This is Santander one, I don't get any insurance benefits from them. Only point is 0.3% interest.
