Understanding Cash ISAs and Saving

What is a Cash ISA?

A Cash ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a tax-free savings account available in the UK. Unlike regular savings accounts, the interest earned on a Cash ISA is not subject to income tax, allowing you to maximize your savings over time.

Annual ISA Allowance (£20,000 Limit)

Each tax year, you can deposit up to £20,000 into your ISAs without paying tax on interest, dividends, or capital gains. This limit applies across all types of ISAs, including Cash ISAs, Stocks & Shares ISAs, and Innovative Finance ISAs.

  • You can split your £20,000 allowance between different ISAs.
  • Unused allowances do not roll over to the next tax year, so it’s beneficial to use as much of your limit as possible.
  • Withdrawals do not reset your allowance; once you deposit funds in an ISA, it counts towards your annual limit.
