ISA allowances 2018-19
In the 2018/19 tax year, the ISA allowance for adults is £20,000. For Junior ISAs, the limit is £4,260.
You can split your 20,000 allowance between a Stocks and shares ISA, a cash ISA, an innovative finance ISA and a Lifetime ISA. How you divide your allowance is up to you (but keep in mind a Lifetime ISA has its own limit of £4,000).
We offer a Stocks and shares ISA and Lifetime ISA, but not a cash ISA or innovative finance ISA.
Set by the government, the ISA allowance is a limit on how much you can pay into ISAs in a tax year. Your £20,000 allowance applies collectively to the different types of adult ISA. You don’t have to use all your allowance if you don’t want to, but once the tax year is gone, so is the allowance. You can’t ‘roll over’ any allowance you haven’t used.
- If you haven’t used all your 2018/19 allowance, invest before the end of the tax year (5 April 2019) so you don’t lose it
- Invest early in each tax year to get the biggest benefit
- Don’t forget Junior ISAs – a tax-efficient, long-term way to save for your child’s university fees or house deposit
- If you’re aged 18-39, you can open a Lifetime ISA and enjoy a government-boosted way of saving for your first home or later life
- Remember that both married partners get their own ISA allowance
