ISA top-ups.

Don't miss out on your tax-efficient investment

  • Every tax year you can invest up to your ISA limit in a stocks and shares ISA and you won’t pay any personal income or capital gains tax on your returns.
  • If you don't invest your full allowance, you could be missing out on the tax-efficient benefits it brings.
  • The amount you can invest into a stocks and shares ISA is reduced by any investment you make into a cash ISA.
  • You can top-up with a lump sum of £100 or more, or make additional regular contributions, of at least £10.

How much can I invest in a stocks and shares ISA?

You can put £10,200 in an ISA.

You can either:

  • Invest up to £5,100 in a cash ISA and invest the rest in a stocks and shares ISA
  • Or invest your full ISA allowance of £10,200 in a stocks and shares ISA.

The value of your investment may fall as well as rise and you might not get back your original investment.

The tax efficiency of ISAs is based on current rules. The current tax situation may not be maintained and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances.
