ISA Investment Annual Limit 2020
The ISA annual limit is reviewed annually.
- The 2020 ISA allowance is £20,000 per person
- You have until 5th April 2020 to make use of it
- HMRC set the allowance every year based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) as of September.
- The savings limit for Junior ISAs is £4,368
- You can spread your ISA annual allowance between a Cash, Stocks and Shares or Innovative Finance ISA or simply place all your savings in to one of these types of accounts. You can only have one of each.
Are there any ISA Rules?
While ISAs can be straight forward, there are some rules to follow and it’s useful to know before you get started:
- The rules on ISAs have been relaxed since April 2016 and you can now choose how you split your savings
- Some accounts have penalties if you withdraw early, particularly fixed rate accounts. Be careful to check your provider’s rules as you could leave with less than you invested if you close early
- You must use a transfer form if you want to transfer accounts. If you don’t follow the transfer procedure and simply withdraw the money yourself then you lose all tax benefits for that year
- Transferring your ISAs should take no more than 15 days although transferring from a cash ISA to a stocks and shares ISA can take longer
