About investment ISAs
Investment ISAs offer a tax-efficient wrapper for an individual’s money. They can deposit into an investment ISA up to their maximum ISA allowance each tax year and then from the ISA invest into a range of ‘qualifying investments’ such as bonds, gilts, shares, funds and stocks.
Investment ISAs are typically described as being tax-efficient because any gains made from investments within the ISA are not subject to any capital gains tax. Also dividends will incur a 10% income tax charge at source but do not have any further income tax to be paid upon them.
Remember that when investing that the value of your investments can go down as a well as up and you could get back less or none of what you originally invested.
Other types of ISA
There are other types of ISA such as Innovative Finance ISAs and Cash ISAs, as these are different from investment ISAs individuals can open these in addition to an investment ISA within the same tax year if they so desire. However, if you do open more than one kind of ISA in a tax year you will need to remember that the overall allowance stays the same no matter how many ISAs you have.
Transfers
ISA providers have to allow an individual to transfer out of their ISA, however, some ISAs will impose a penalty for doing so. It is important to remember however when looking for an ISA to transfer to that not all permit transfers in, so you will need to find an account that does.
It is now possible to make transfers interchangeably between ISAs for example from a Cash ISA into a Stocks & Shares product or vice versa.
