Frequently Asked Questions

What are the annual ISA limits and how do the tax benefits work?

An Individual Savings Account (ISA) is a tax-free wrapper for your savings and investments. For the 2026/27 tax year, the maximum annual ISA allowance is £20,000. You can save or invest up to £20,000 across Cash ISAs, Stocks & Shares ISAs, Innovative Finance ISAs, and Lifetime ISAs. All interest earned on cash savings, dividend payouts on stocks, and capital gains on investments held within an ISA wrapper are completely exempt from UK tax and do not need to be declared to HMRC. The allowance does not roll over to the next tax year, so it is a ‘use it or lose it’ tax benefit.

What is the Personal Savings Allowance vs. a Lifetime ISA?

If you save money in standard, non-ISA bank accounts, your interest is subject to the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA). Basic rate taxpayers can earn £1,000 of savings interest tax-free per year, higher rate taxpayers can earn £500, and additional rate taxpayers receive £0. Any interest exceeding these limits is taxed at your standard income tax rate. A Lifetime ISA (LISA) is a specialist account for individuals aged 18 to 39 saving for their first home (valued up to £450,000) or retirement. You can deposit up to £4,000 per year as part of your overall £20,000 ISA limit, and the government adds a 25% bonus (up to £1,000 annually) to your savings. However, withdrawing money for other reasons incurs a 25% government penalty, clawing back the bonus and some of your own savings.
