Missed Nationwide payout off tax return

RSD7a

24/25 SA all done and paid including tax on interest. Only just now noticed (remembered) that Nationwide £200 payout to members is classed as interest, so in my case taxable. Would you hang tight and wait  or take action?

Hang tight for what?

HMRC aren't going to amend your return for you.

Obviously they mean hang tight and not say anything in case they don't realise.

Unfortunately, if it was me I would contact them and see what I should do as I would constantly worry about it - but that's just me.

Wasn't obvious to me that OP was proposing dishonesty and failing to submit a correct tax return.

Exactly my question. Hang tight for what? I'm asking because I have no idea if something like that would be picked up by HMRC and if so then what happens. Or maybe it's too small to matter. Or maybe I can add it next year, or maybe it gets forgotten. I wasn't even aware I could make an amendment etc etc 
I'm not well informed about these things. That's why I'm asking. Though feel free to continue to be dismissive if that's your preference.

You amend your return to reflect the income you received in the year. If it was online you can do it in 2 minutes.

Thanks. That's helpful to know.

You can amend it it up to (and I think even beyond the 31st Jan deadline)
As to whether HMRC would pick up on it, possibly, or they'd add it to next year. I'd imagine they'd be unlikely to start an investigation into you because of it though.

Thanks. Grateful for that perspective. All sorted now!
