Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) help you save tax. This guide gives you some handy tips to enable you find the right ISA.

   Types of saving

You can save tax by saving money in different ways.

Cash ISA

This works in exactly the same way as if you were putting money into a bank or building society savings account that pays interest - only it is tax-free interest.

Stocks and Shares ISA

Rather than putting your cash in the bank you invest it in the stock market. You have a huge variety of options including investing in UK shares, unit trusts, investment trusts, global stocks, stock market indices and bonds. (click here to find out more about investment products)

You can rely on a fund manager to pick the investments for you or make your own selections (see the Self Select ISA section).

You should always research the companies or stock markets you wish to invest in thoroughly.
