Hi,

If your untaxed interest exceeds the Personal Savings Allowance of £1000, then your unused tax-free personal allowances will be be applied against the remaining untaxed interest. If this amount of untaxed interest exceed the remainder of your tax free personal allowances, it will be subject to the 20% Basic Rate of Income Tax.

Thank you.
