    It's not the year it's paid but the year you are allowed to access it - ie when it is made available to you

    NS&I green bond - correct, you cannot access the interest until year 3 so all interest is taxed in year 3.

    I'm not sure whether you're also suggesting that this Coventry account will have all of the interest potentially taxable in the maturity year - but if you are then it's the option of being allowed to take interest out (monthly or annually) that matters, not whether you have chosen to do it. The green bond doesn't give you the option, hence why all the interest is potentially taxable in the maturity year.
