The start of the new tax year is also a great opportunity to review the suitability of any investments you already have within your ISAs and pensions.
The allowance figures below are for the tax year which runs from 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025.
Please remember that as with any form of investment, the value of an investment held within ISAs and Pensions can go up or down and you could end up with less than you originally invested.
