. Tax year information and subscription limits
Each year the Government allows you to invest in a tax-efficient product called an ISA (an Individual Savings Account). The maximum amount you can invest in the current tax year is £20,000. You can choose to invest your full allowance into a Cash ISA, a Stocks and Shares ISA, or an Innovative Finance ISA or any combination of the three.
Alternatively you can split your allowance by investing up to £4,000 in a Lifetime ISA and the remaining allowance between any combination of the other three types of ISA, as long as you don’t exceed £20,000 in total across your ISAs.
For example, if you invest £10,000 into your Stocks and Shares ISA, you must save no more than £4,000 in your Lifetime ISA and £6,000 within a cash ISA and/or an Innovative Finance ISA.
What is an ISA declaration and why do I need to complete it?
An ISA declaration is required by HMRC, this is to ensure that when you apply for an ISA you are aware of the current ISA rules and regulations. This is also required if no subscription has been made to the ISA in the previous tax year.
When does the tax year start and end?
The tax year runs from 6th April to 5th April every year. On 6th April you will be allocated the new tax year's ISA subscription allowance.
Do I need to open an ISA every year?
If you already have an ISA, you do not need to open a new account. All you need to do is fund your ISA at any point in the existing, or new tax year to subscribe. You can only subscribe into one Stocks and Shares ISA or Investment ISA for the tax year.
