All You Need to Know About Investing in Individual Savings Account (ISAs)

One of my major concerns when I moved to the UK was the tax. I had heard horrible stories so much that It scared me to Save and Invest my Money.

Stocks and shares ISA is one of my Favorite ways to invest my money Tax Free. It is an Investment account that is designed to help you make the most of your money.

Now let’s get down to the Basics:

What is ISA: ISA is a savings account where you can save and invest your money.

There are four main types of ISAs:

  1. lifetime ISAs
  2. 2. Cash ISAs
  3. 3. Stocks and Shares ISAs
  4. 4. Innovative Finance ISAs
  5. There is also a Junior ISA which allows you invest on behalf of your child until they turn 18

Reasons to invest in an ISA?

  1. ISAs allow you to protect your money from income and capital gains tax.
  2. 2. You get up to £1,000 free from the Government.
  3. 3. You can split your investments across all four ISAs as long as you do not exceed the annual ISA limit of £20,000

Each tax year (6 April to 5 April) there’s a maximum amount of money you can put in ISAs, called the ISA allowance.

In the 2023/2024 tax year the allowance is £20,000. So if you put £10,000 in an ISA in the 2023/2024 tax year, you could still put up to £20,000 in the following tax year.

You can only put a maximum of £4,000 into a Lifetime ISA each year.

~ A Lifetime ISA boosts your house deposit savings with a 25% government bonus on top of your contributions.
