The laws are different in different countries so you may wish to check with the tax authorities or an accountant or, easiest, whoever you are saving with. A minor child does have a small allowance but the parent is liable for taxes - and that would be at the parent's highest rate.

Interest income is considered taxable when earned. For example, if your savings account accrues interest, it is taxable at the time of accrual even if you are not utilizing the funds within the account.

And to the essense of yoru question, I believe your confused about what is taxable income. EARNED income may be taxable (generally is) and UNEARNED income (in the vernacular) is ALSO taxable the same way...it is all taxable income. And certainly interest is taxable income (unless it is from a specifically none taxable type of investment, like a State/Municipal bond) , regardless of the source of the underlying deposit.
