Short Tax Return - Interest in Bank Accounts

[anthonypaul]

My wife has the grand total of £1.40 untaxed interest in her bank account for the tax year - does this need to be declared or is there a lower limit figure under which it doesn't have to be declared?

Paul

[section 44]

Does she have a tax liability?

yes

[section 44]

You have your answer.

Either she has incorrectly claimed to be entitled to receive interest without tax deducted or she has failed to notify HMRC that she is liable to pay income tax but, either way, she has tax to pay (there is no de minimis).
