ISA WIZARD home
What is an ISA? An ISA is a tax-efficient "wrapper" in which you can hold either stock market-based investments or a traditional savings account. Any interest earned on savings or bonds and any capital gains made on investments within an ISA are tax-free. This makes ISAs particularly appealing to higher-rate taxpayers.
There are two types of ISA
I would like to know how much I could invest
Cash ISA - this works in the same way as a savings account. You can invest with a building society or bank, in cash unit trusts or National Savings. This is a good choice for short-term savings, especially if you want to access your money easily.

Stocks and Shares ISA - with this you can invest in the stock market and any gains you make will not be affected by Capital Gains Tax. For a better return you should invest for a longer period.
