Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) are a great way to make the most of your savings as you can save tax efficiently. There are two types of ISAs; Cash ISAs which are simply tax-free savings accounts; and Stocks & Shares ISAs.
At the start of every tax year you get an ISA allowance. A tax year runs from 6 April one year to 5 April the next year. For the current tax year, which ends 5 April 2014, you can save up to £11,520 in an ISA, of which up to £5,760 can be put into a cash ISA.
There are a few ways you can use your allowance. You can:
1. Save up to the cash ISA limit into a Cash ISA, and invest the remaining in a stocks and shares ISA
2. Or, you can invest the full ISA allowance in a stocks and shares ISA.
If you have already paid into a cash ISA this tax year you won't be able to pay into another until the start of the next tax year. You can however, still transfer between cash ISAs or from a cash ISA into a stocks and shares ISA.
