Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ISA?

An ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a UK tax wrapper that allows you to save or invest up to £20,000 per year completely tax-free. No tax on interest, dividends, or capital gains.

What is the 2026 ISA allowance?

The annual ISA allowance is £20,000. You can split this across different ISA types (Cash, S&S, Innovative Finance, Lifetime) but the total cannot exceed £20K.

Cash ISA vs Stocks & Shares ISA?

Cash ISAs offer guaranteed but lower returns (3-5%). Stocks & Shares ISAs invest in the market for potentially higher returns (6-10%+) but with more risk. For long-term (5+ years), S&S ISAs typically perform better.

Can I withdraw from my ISA?

Yes, you can withdraw anytime. With a 'Flexible ISA,' you can replace withdrawn money in the same tax year without it counting towards your allowance.

Should I max out my ISA?

Yes! £20,000/year at 8% for 20 years = over £900,000 tax-free. The ISA is the single best tax shelter for UK investors.
