The ISA (Individual Savings Account) was developed by the Government
to encourage everyone to save long term, whether it be for pleasure or rainy day money. Anyone who pays tax either now or
in the future should consider saving money in an ISA to help keep their savings out of the taxman’s reach. You can invest up to £10,680
tax efficiently. Up to £5,340 of this can be saved in a cash ISA, with the remaining balance in a stocks and shares
ISA, or the whole £10,680 can be saved in a stocks and shares ISA.
