We've got the answer.
What is an ISA?
ISA stands for Individual Savings Account, which is a tax-efficient way to grow your money. You don’t pay income tax on your interest or dividends, and you don’t pay Capital Gains Tax on the profits you make from your investments.
What are the different types of ISA?
There are four main types of ISA:
- Cash ISA - for cash savings.
- Stocks and Shares ISA (sometimes called an investment ISA) – invests in the stock market through funds or stocks and shares.
- Innovative Finance ISA – you lend your money to people or companies for a return.
- Lifetime ISA – helps you save towards your first home or for retirement and comes in the form of cash or stocks and shares.
There are also sub-category ISAs including:
- Help to Buy ISA – a cash ISA option designed to help first-time buyers save for a mortgage deposit and then claim a government bonus when they buy their first home. You can no longer open a Help to Buy ISA however, you can continue to pay into one that’s already set up.
- Junior ISA – available for under 18s and come in the form of cash or stocks and shares.
How much can I put into an ISA?
The current annual ISA allowance is £20,000 each tax year. The maximum you can put into a Lifetime ISA is £4,000 per tax year (which forms part of your overall £20,000 annual allowance). The maximum you can put into a Junior ISA is £9,000 per tax year.
You can only pay into one Virgin Money Cash ISA in a tax year.
