What is a Cash ISA?
- ISA stands for Individual Savings Account and these were introduced by
the Government to encourage everyone to save for the future by investing in
tax free savings
- You can invest from £1 up to £3,600 each tax year and benefit from tax free
savings. The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April the following year
- You can invest in one lump sum or in any number of smaller payments up to the annual subscription limit (£3,600)
- Please remember you have a maximum Cash ISA allowance of £3,600
each tax year. This means that you cannot deposit more than £3,600 in a
tax year, even if you make a withdrawal. For example, if you save £3,600 then
take out £500, you cannot make another deposit until the next tax year
