no
it's because you've earnt money (the interest) and you have to pay tax on it. If it's in a savings account, the bank does it for you. But since it's not, you'll have to pay it, which means you'll have to start doing tax returns. If you already do one, no worries, but if you don't, it might not be worth the couple of hundred quid interest to then have to fill in a full tax return every year for the rest of your life (well, the ten years until they realise you don't need to again)

I have to do my tax every year anyway, so that's cool.
