Do I declare interest within UK investment bonds?

Any growth on investment bonds that stays within the bonds is not liable to taxation, though if it is a French bond with part invested in a fond en euros fund, this is liable to the social charges within the contract.

It is only in the case of withdrawals that the gain element of the withdrawal should be declared, net of any UK tax paid, if applicable.
