What is an ISA or Individual Savings Account?
In it?s simplest term it?s a vessel that is almost tax free. So rather than being an actual investment it is where your savings or investment lives. For example you can put cash into an ISA, which is then tax free, any increase in capital growth is also tax free. You can also have life insurance products inside an ISA and if you receive any benefits from this they would also be tax-free. There used to be a similar system called PEPS, which have moved aside for the ISA.
So it all sounds pretty simple on the face of it. So guess what? There are a whole load of regulations and many rules that have to be followed.
It?s important that you understand the basic concept of both the mini and maxi isa before you decide on the one that is best for you as you are only allowed to purchase one each year. Once you find the one that works for you, you will need to get more specific details about them before looking around the providers for specific isa?s that interest you.
