Interest from savings account

Hello, I have always been a PAYE employee for decades and currently am a higher rate tax payer (but well short of £100K, unfortunately). Due to rising interest rates last year my savings interest exceeded the £500 tax free allowance. Is this reported to HMRC by the bank or do I have to report it myself? I completed the questionnaire about whether I need to send a self assessment but the result was No. Thanks

Hi,

Yes, the bank will report the interest details to HMRC and we will review the record and issue a calculation if underpaid or over paid in tax. 

Thank you.
