Tax on savings higher tax band

Hi. When I Include my savings interest of £7000 (that which is above the £1000 allowance) in my total income, my total income exceeds the £50K+ threshold for paying 40% tax, but only by approximately £1000. Do I pay 40% tax on all the interest (£7000) or just the amount that is above the £50K allowance threshold? My numbers suggest that I am a higher rate tax payer and therefore pay the higher rate on my savings but all of it………?

Hi,
You will only pay the higher rate tax on the income in the higher rate tax band. You can check the tax bands at:
 Income Tax rates and Personal Allowances.
Thank you.
