Money Confidence – ISAs


Listen Later

On this episode of the Money Confidence podcast, Sarah and Georgia talk about ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) which are tax free ways of saving money.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are different types of ISAs: Cash ISAs and Stocks and Shares ISAs are the most common, and the ones we're talking about on this episode, but there are also Lifetime ISAs, which we'll talk about on another episode as well as Innovative Finance ISAs, which uses peer to peer lending and isn't covered by the Financial Compensation Scheme, so we're not going to talk about that one. There are also Junior ISAs (both Cash and Stocks and Shares) which have a cap of £9,000 per tax year (2022/23) and these can be accessed by the child on their 18th birthday. 

Stocks and Shares ISAs can be invested in lots of different things: bonds, stocks and shares, funds, and some are riskier than others so you should really seek financial advice when it comes to investing – performance can go down as well as up.


BEST MOMENTS

‘The maximum you can put into an ISA in this tax year (2022/23) between the 6th April and 5th April the following year, is £20,000. This is the maximum across all of your ISAs.'

‘ISAs cannot be held in joint names or in trust.'

‘You have to be aged 16 or over and be resident in the UK to open an ISA, if you change residency you can no longer contribute to your ISA.'

‘ISAs are within your estate for Inheritance Tax purposes and, unlike pension contributions, you don't get Tax Relief on contributions into an ISA.'
