I am filling in my tax return and am slightly confused about what information i need to give about bank interest and charges i have received. i am employed full-time (so am filling in an employment section), am part of a partnership (so filling in the partnership section) and also do some freelance self-employed work (so filling in the self-employed section).my question is what information do i need to provide about bank charges and interest etc.the partnership started 2005-06 without a dedicated bank account - i.e. there was not much money coming through so we just used our own bank accounts etc. half way through the year, we got a business banking account. i also have personal current account, a joint account with my wife and several personal credit cards and loans.what information do i need to give about these for both the partnership and my own individual tax return? also is there any way i can easily get the necessary figures from my bank/s?

Ok - self assessment is what it says - on employment section its your pay and tax deducted - on the self employment side int and charges can be claimed if they are on a business bank account for the self employed business. personal cards loans are not claimable. interest you earned personally does need to go on your return as it will have had tax taken off it and depending on the calculations you have made to tax owed may be due back. if you are unsure take a trip to your local tax office with ething and they will help you.
