ISAs: Make sure you know how to benefit
What is an ISA?
An individual savings account is the tax-free scheme that was launched by the government under Gordon Brown’s leadership in 1999, in order to encourage people to save money. In addition, in April of 2008, the government did away with confusing concepts of mini and maxi ISAs, leaving the new structure a whole lot easier to understand. This is great if you’re a little unschooled in the finance department!
In specific, under the new rules, a person is able to invest up to a maximum of £7,200 in any tax year (which runs from April to April), without having to pay any tax. The cash limit in the overall allowance is set to rise from £3,600 to £5,100. You can choose to save in a cash ISA or in a stocks and shares ISA, or both. Do be aware though, that if you want to transfer money from one account to another (say, with a different provider), you can only transfer from one cash ISA to another, rather than transfer to a stocks and shares ISA.
Cash or Shares?
The difference between a cash or shares ISA is quite simple. You just need to make sure you think carefully before you choose between them. A cash ISA lets savers put away money to accrue interest, just like it would in an ordinary bank or building society. A shares ISA allows you to invest in the stock market—though gains won’t be taxed; your capital will be subject to fluctuations in the health of the market. Cash ISAs are better for personal savings; they let you gain interest, avoid tax and have easy access to funds at pretty short notice. Shares ISAs are better for businessman and companies; like all stock market savings, they should be considered a long term investment.
Where to buy your ISA
ISAs can be bought nearly anywhere—banks, building societies, fund managers and even supermarkets. In addition, if you don’t know where or how to start, you’ll be able to find adverts in the financial pages of newspapers and many companies will also let you buy ISAs online. Have a look at Alliance and Leicester’s website, for example, to see how you can benefit from a range of their current accounts. Alliance and Leicester have a variety of cash ISAs, which enables you to really find the kind of ISA that suits your needs. For example, you can choose between a direct ISA with fixed rate bonds and a flexible ISA in which interest accretes at a non-set rate. Check out their website for more information.
