    When someone talks about savings and saving money, it could be referring to a piggy bank on the mantelpiece or a high interest deposit account. Savings are effectively cash or cash instruments, such as deposit accounts or term bonds.

    Investing is what you can do with the savings you have created - if you are looking to generate a greater return on your money than is available to you through your savings instruments.Read More

    No tax is popular but Inheritance Tax seems to provoke the most resentment.

    After all, having built your capital suffering tax at up to 45% your heirs will lose another 40%.

    The good news is this tax is designed to be avoided, provided you take action early. Government policy is to get capital moving down the generations so gifts made regularly from income or more than seven years before death are not taxed at all. Read More

    When you retire you still need food and shelter as an absolute minimum, but of course you will want to maintain the lifestyle to which you have become accustomed, so you need to provide yourself with a secure income for the rest of your life.

    A well prepared pension plan which is regularly reviewed should go some way to providing you with a reasonable level of income in your retirement.Read More

    Needing long term care can be a difficult and worrying time, both for the person needing care and for family or legal representatives such as attorneys.

    Some people choose to go into a care home; others reach a point where there is no choice. However you reach this point, a deep financial understanding of the costs and resources with which to pay is essential.

ISAs

THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS AND THE INCOME THEY PRODUCE CAN FALL AS WELL AS RISE. YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED.

INVESTORS DO NOT PAY ANY PERSONAL TAX ON INCOME OR GAINS, BUT ISAs DO PAY UNRECOVERABLE TAX ON INCOME FROM STOCKS AND SHARES RECEIVED BY THE ISA MANAGERS.

TAX TREATMENT VARIES ACCORDING TO INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

Individual Savings Account (ISA)

ISAs represent a tax-efficient container in which to place cash savings and investments in equities, bonds and collectives.

Introduced in 1999 as a replacement for PEPs and TESSAs, an ISA is available to all UK resident individuals over the age of 16 for cash ISAs & over the age of 18 for stocks and shares ISAs. Designed to encourage new saving they are attractive to investors seeking a tax-efficient investment vehicle with the potential for higher returns. There is usually a low level of minimum subscription and no minimum period of investment.

An ISA enables you to accumulate savings in a tax efficient manner as all gains in the hands of investors are free from tax, making them particularly attractive to higher rate taxpayers.

An ISA can contain cash deposits, investments in equities, bonds and collectives.

For the 2021/22 tax year, you can choose to pay in one of the following:

  • £20,000 to a cash ISA and nothing to a stocks & shares ISA.
  • £20,000 to a stocks and shares ISA and nothing to a cash ISA.
  • A combination of amounts between a cash and a stocks & shares ISA, up to the overall annual limit of £20,000.

You can only open one cash ISA and one stocks and shares ISA to put new money into each tax year. But you can also open other ISAs to transfer old ISAs into.

Withdrawals from an ISA can be made at any time with all gains free from tax but it is only possible to hold one ISA per tax year, so if an ISA is closed within the same tax year that it was opened, another one cannot be started until the next tax year.

ISAs can be transferred from one provider to another, as long as the new provider accepts transfers. This is often done with a cash ISA after it has been held for a year as previously attractive interest rates drop dramatically when short-term bonuses and fixed terms come to an end. The transfer is initiated through the new, receiving, provider who will require you to supply details of the original account and will manage the whole transfer process. Transfers should not be done manually by withdrawing the investment, closing the account, and re-investing it in the new account, as this removes the tax-free interest status of your investment.

The current year's allowance is unaffected by anything transferred from previous years so you can transfer previous investment to a new ISA and open a second ISA for new contributions if you wish, as long as you don't contribute to both.
