An ISA (or Individual Savings Account) is a popular, tax advantaged way of saving.
Whether you're aiming for something specific - like a special holiday or a deposit for a property - or just interested in putting something away for your future, an ISA is the foundation for many savers.
There are four types of ISA. Cash ISA, Innovative Finance ISA, Lifetime ISA and Stocks & Shares ISA. Our ISA is the Stocks & Shares type, which means you invest your money hoping to benefit from investment growth over the longer term.
There are agreed limits set by the Government regarding how much you can invest into your ISA(s). For the 2018/19 tax year, the limit is $20,000 in total which can be invested into your ISA(s), which can be split between a Stocks & Shares ISA, a Cash ISA, an Innovative Finance ISA and a Lifetime ISA (if you are eligible). You can only put money into one Stocks & Shares ISA, one Innovative Finance ISA, one Cash ISA and one Lifetime ISA in a tax year.
The start of a new tax year. You can take out an ISA at any time, but to make the most of the tax advantages it makes sense to start putting money in as early in the tax year as you can.
Please remember the value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount you originally invested.
All investments carry an element of risk which may differ significantly. If you are unsure as to the suitability of any particular investment or product, you should seek professional financial advice.
Remember you can only contribute to one Stocks & Shares ISA, one Cash ISA, one Lifetime ISA and one Innovative Finance ISA each year, regardless of provider. If you have contributed to a Cash ISA and/ or Innovative Finance ISA this will reduce the amount you can contribute to a Stocks & Shares ISA.

You can save up to $20,000 into an ISA in the 2018/19 tax year. This can be split between a Cash ISA, Innovative Finance ISA, a Lifetime ISA and a Stocks & Shares ISA if you want.
If your marginal rate of tax is 40-45%, there is no income tax to pay on income from your ISA, therefore the tax savings for you can be significant.
