ISA reforms in the UK

While most forms of savings are subject to a 20% tax, Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) are a tax-free scheme to encourage people to save money and consider their investments.

Introduced in 1999 to replace the earlier Tax-Exempt Special Savings Accounts (TESSAs) and Personal Equity Plans (PEPs), ISAs are free of income tax and capital gains tax for annual investments of up to ?7,000 in two components: cash and shares. At present, savers can either combine both in a Maxi ISA with the same financial institution, or invest with different providers with Mini ISAs. Both a Mini and Maxi cannot be purchased in the same tax year.

In light of the seven years passed since the introduction of the scheme, the government has recently concluded an anticipated ISA regime review. There are a few key changes to the future of ISAs from the tax year 2008/09. Firstly, the government aims to bring any remaining PEPs in line with the ISA system. By aligning the rules of the two schemes, any of the remaining 3.5 million PEPs can be invested in the full range of ISA options.

The government also wishes to simplify matters by abolishing the difference between Mini and Maxi ISAs. With savers able to contribute cash and shares under their choice of provider, the investment rules are easier to understand and prevents breaking ISA rules unawares. The saver has the choice to operate their cash and shares through the same or different providers, with the overall investment limit remaining at ?7,000.

The final regime reform measure is to allow cash transfers to the ISA stocks & shares component. The proposed measures will essentially allow a diversification of investment accounts and savings options.

For more information, and the best ISA, it is essential to consult a trusted financial adviser.

Individual Savings Accounts (ISA)

ISAs orIndividual Savings Accounts are one type of tax free accounts available in the UK. They are only available in one name (so you cannot have a joint account), hence the ‘individual’ part of the name. They are available as maxi or mini accounts. The accounts have a limit on how much money the investor can pay in each tax year and for mini accounts this is £3600 a year and for a maxi it is £7200 a year. This threshold tends to change and is likely to increase when a new tax year starts. The money invested in a mini ISA is invested in cash and the account terms will vary between banks and so can be instant access, fixed rate or notice accounts. The interest will vary depending on the type of account that is chosen. Another way of investing ISA money is in stocks and shares and there are the options of a mini or maxi ISA for this. You can hold a mini cash and a mini stocks and shares ISA at the same time but only one maxi ISA can be held. The stocks and shares ISA can work in several ways, depending on your needs and the company that you invest in. If you pick and choose your own shares you can usually have the option of wrapping these in an ISA which means that you will not pay tax on the interest that you receive. Many financial institutions also give the option of having a stocks and shares ISA where a mix of shares is purchased. You can either choose a spread of shares or a particular fund.

The main advantage of ISAs is that they are tax free so you will not be taxed on any interest that you receive on the account. It is important to remember that if your investment is held in shares then you will still need to pay tax when the shares are sold. It is still a great way to gain some extra interest on your money. You just have to be careful that you do not hold too many ISA’s at once. You can have one of either type or two minis (one cash and one stocks and shares) but that is it. Of course if you have a partner and children, they can have them as well.

It is well worth doing a lot of research before taking one out. The cash ISA’s can vary considerably in type and therefore the interest rate may be very different between one account and another. With the stocks and shares ISA you can find that some have quite high management fees. This is because many share accounts have managers which you will be charged for. You can take out a tracker share account which just tracks the stock market and has no manager. This means that the fees are lower and the amount of return you get on your investment should track the stock market. With an investment in shares you can lose money as well as gain it, so you do need to do research before buying these too.

The Credit what?

No doubt that many people have heard the word credit being mentioned recently usually followed by the word crunch, what surprises me is that there are many people who have no idea what it means.

Here is a brief idea:
-Stricter requirements for obtaining credit especially when it comes to poor credit
-People aren’t able to pay back mortgages and credit that they have taken out
-Houses being repossed and people going bankrupt

Why?
People were able to live far beyond their means

Who is to blame?
There is nobody to blame although the banks will take the fall as they are the ones that really lose out if people don’t pay them back especially if it unsecured debt. In the case where it is secured on a house now that house prices are falling some cases the banks are not able to recover their intial money that they lent out. Although we must remember that a mortgage over a lot of years is mostly interest so the actual amount of money they need to recover isn’t usually the full maount of the money that would be paid as it is being paid earlier although in the big scale of things this doesn’t make much difference.
