ISA
An ISA is an account for either a cash savings (known as a cash ISA) or investments (known as either an investment ISA or a stocks and shares ISA). ISAs are different to other accounts because they are free from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Each tax year the Government gives adults an allowance that can be invested in an ISA. The current ISA allowance is £20,000.
Junior ISAs are also available for children.

Junior ISA (Junior Individual Savings Account)
Also known as a JISA. Allows you to save for a child’s future tax-efficiently. It works in mostly the same way as an adult ISA, with the Government setting an annual limit of how much can be invested. The Junior ISA allowance is currently £9,000.
