Self assessment - UK Interest

Hi, I'd like some support please. I generally don't complete a self assessment as I am employed and pay tax via PAYE. I will need to fill a return this year as I have been claiming child benefit and I earn over the £50K limit. Do I need to also fill out the UK interest and dividends section? I have earned some interest via my savings account and investments but well below the allowance. Thanks

Yes, you declare all taxable income on a Self Assessment return. There are no separate allowances for interest or dividends. There are some 0% tax rates so your interest and any dividends may get taxed at 0% but it still forms part of your adjusted net income and it's this which determines any High Income Child Benefit Charge due.

Hi Francesco Pica
The return is a declaration of all your income so the interest and dividends still need to be declared.
Thankyou.
