    • Mini stocks and shares ISA (limit £4,000)
    • Maxi ISA - with a limit of £7,000, but no more than £3,000 in cash.

  4. ISAs allow you to take your money out at any time without losing tax relief and furthermore you are not required to declare income and capital gains from ISA savings.

Personal Equity Plans (PEPs)

Although PEPs are no longer available, sums already invested continue to score for tax breaks.
