Increased limit for Isa savings

by Susie Hughes at 12:57 02/07/14 (News on Business)

From this month (July 1, 2014) there is a near trebling of the cash ISA limit for savers with greater choice in how these savings are made.

The changes, which were announced by Chancellor George Osborne at the Budget, amount to the biggest increase ever in ISA limits. The amount which can be put into an ISA each year increases from £5,760 in 2013/14 to £15,000 in 2014/15. Advertisement Over 23 million adults – roughly half of the UK adult population - have an ISA, with over five million people estimated to be subscribing to an ISA at the cash limit and 1.3 million subscribing at the stocks and shares limit and therefore likely to benefit immediately from the changes. In 2018/19, over six million people stand to gain from the increase in ISA limits to £15,000. The size of ISA holdings increases with age; the average amount of ISA savings in the under 25 age group at the end of 2010/11 was £4,490 compared with £29,880 in the 65 and over age group.
