Individual savings accountIndividual savings accountA tax-favoured savings account introduced on 6th April 1999 which replaced PEPs and TESSAs. ISAs are not an investment in their own right.

There are strict limits on how much you can put in each component, and the limits depend in part on whether you use a 'maxi ISA' or a number of mini ISAs.Until 5th April 2004 ISAs benefit from a 10% tax credit on UK equities. Stock and share investments which can be held in an ISA include unit trusts, open ended investment companies (OEICs), investment trusts, ordinary shares, preference shares and fixed interest corporate bonds.PEPs in existence at 6th April 1999 may continue to be held outside an ISA with the same tax advantages.
