New Tax Year!

Tara Gillespie

New year is always an exciting time!!

And we have just ticked over into a new tax year.. so guess what?! It's time to talk ISAs!

Exciting, right?

Seriously though, we are talking tax free earnings on your savings.. up to £20k this year!

They come in different shapes and sizes, to suit your saving needs:

- Want to start saving? Cash ISA 

- Want to buy a house? Lifetime ISA.

- Want to squirrel away for retirement? Also Lifetime ISA.

- Want to have a go at investing? Stocks and shares ISA.

- Do something for yourself in isolation.. start isa-lating the right isa for you to get the most from your savings!

What does it stand for?

Individual Savings Account

How do I get one?

Most high-street banks offer a range of ISAs.

Top tip: With interest rates so low at the moment, for cash ISAs it might be worth sticking with your current account so make sure you compare the interest rates.
