Why would I save into a Cash ISA?

Saving into a Cash ISA can be attractive for its tax-efficiency. This has become more important in recent times due to higher interest rates putting savers closer to the limit of their ‘Personal Savings Allowance’.

With a Cash ISA account, all the interest earned will be tax-exempt. For the 2023/2024 tax year, you can hold up to £20,000 in a Cash ISA and earn tax-free interest.

What is a ‘Personal Savings Allowance’?

The ‘Personal Savings Allowance’ is a tax exemption introduced in 2016 by the UK Government to enable individuals to earn interest on their savings without being taxed on it. The limit of tax-free interest depends on your personal circumstances but it's worth noting going over this could mean you’re subject to income tax.
