They will then estimate for the next year, and adjust it in yiour tax code.
If your interest is over £10,000 or you are self employed you will need to complete a tax return.

Some time after the end of the Tax Year NS&I should send you a statement of interest accrued. Interest will have been paid gross of tax, I imagine they will send a similar statement to the Revenue. I believe you will both need to file a Self Assessment form, and that as the account is joint you will be able to split the Interest accrued equally on each form. You wil also need to declare other income from all sources. You will have the option on the form to decide if you wish any tax owed to be paid through the next years tax coding or to pay it as a lump sum, but possibly in two tranches, as is normal for people who need to file Self Assessment forms.. The Revenue will then send each of you a statement of tax paid and any liability.
"Congratulations on your successful property sale and the substantial interest payments it's generating for you and your partner! In terms of taxes, the interest income generated by your joint NS&I account will need to be reported on your tax return and may be subject to income tax.
