Back in the old days (70s/80s) we had a bank account or to which paid untaxed interest and I think that's one reason why I was stuck with doing tax returns for much of my PAYE worklife, the other being perks like company car and fuel card.
However it's also true that they now get seemingly increasingly accurate returns from the banks etc as I was told more than once that I'd declared wrongly, or missed something off - though IIRC you can split any income 50/50 with your partner.
As T&E says, mostly the annual return isn't too difficult to do online once you have your data to hand.
