Investment limits for Individual Savings Accounts (ISA’s) increased

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 at 10:40 am

From 6th April 2008 the amounts that can be invested into ISA’s will increase up to:

  • £3,600 per tax year for a cash ISA,
  • and up to £7,200 per tax year into a stocks and shares ISA,

subject to an overall limit of £7,200 to both ISA’s in a tax year. This will increase the amount an individual can save without suffering income tax or capital gains tax on their investment.

Tip: As anyone 16 or over can open a cash ISA and earn interest tax free it is well worth older children considering opening an account
