ISA Accounts

Individual Savings Accounts (ISA accounts) provide savers with a great alternative to regular savings accounts, as normal accounts pay interest that is subject to tax (22% for lower rate tax-payers and 40% for higher rate tax-payers), but ISAs provide tax free interest which was passed by the government in an effort to encourage saving.

Every individual is given a yearly allowance of up to £7,200 to invest in both cash ISAs and stocks and shares ISAs. You are can invest the full limit into a stocks and shares ISA, or mix you allowance between the two, but you can never invest more that £3,600 per tax year into a cash ISA.

Which4U compares all the best ISA accounts allowing you to make a choice based on clear information shown in our ISA tables.
