National Savings Certificates

[RSDonovan]

I have money invested in National Savings Certificates; some of these are Index-Linked, some are Fixed-Rate. Many were purchased 10-15 years ago.

There are at present no issues on sale, but when the current ones expire, they are allowed to be "rolled over" into new certificates at current rates.

Can someone please confirm that the interest arising from these certificates, do not have to be entered onto annual tax returns.

Thanks in advance

Confirmed - the interest is tax free
