Government Bond Interest

Hello, I had received interest from a government bond, is the interest treated as "taxed interest" when I report the self-assessment? Thanks, Karen

Hi Karen,
Deeply Discounted Securities’ (DDS) are government securities, commercial bonds and loan stock, where the amount paid on redemption is higher than the price at which they were issued.
The difference is the discount and represents the whole or part of the reward to the holder of the security for the use of the money borrowed by the security issuer.
Where certain conditions apply, the tax rules ensure that gains on such securities are taxed as income, rather than as capital gains.
SAIM3010 - Deeply discounted securities: introduction
If you invest in deeply discounted securities, put the difference between what you paid for the bond and what you redeem or sell it for in box 3 of SA101 (page Ai1).
Additional information
Thank you. 

Hello, Thanks for your reply. Currently I'm having the government bond (from non-UK government) and not yet sell it. I have interest received from the bond. Is the received interest reported as "foreign income"? Thank you.

Hi Karen,
Yes, it should be declared in a Self Assessment tax return.
Thank you. 

Does the Gilt treat as deeply discount security also? The difference upon redemption should be taxed as Gct or income tax?

Hi,

Gilt strips held by individuals and other non-corporates are treated as deeply discounted securities, and profits or losses are taken into the income regime.

Please see SAIM3130:

Thank you.
