HMRC have paid me interest on delayed refund - is this taxable?

I have received a refund for 2023/24 which is slightly higher than the amount stated in the tax calculation, and assume this is interest. Do I need to include this as savings interest for 2045/25?

I have looked online, but can’t see this information where I expected and I’m probably not going to be the only person who asks!
