No imminent change to cash Isa tax-free allowance
Briefly

The current 20,000 tax-free allowance for cash Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) will remain unchanged. The government previously considered reducing this allowance to stimulate investment in stocks and shares. The Chancellor emphasized a commitment to ensuring that savings yield optimal returns and bolster investment in the UK economy. Ongoing discussions are planned with banks, building societies, and investment firms regarding potential reforms to ISA products, which allow tax-free returns on savings and investments with an annual contribution limit.
The government will maintain the current 20,000 tax-free allowance for cash ISAs, contrary to expectations of a reduction to encourage more investment in stocks and shares.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves aims to ensure that people's savings yield the best returns while promoting further investment in the UK economy.
