Common questions

What is the ISA allowance for 2025/26?

You can invest up to £20,000 across all your ISAs each tax year. The allowance resets every April and you can't carry unused allowance forward.

Do I pay tax on ISA withdrawals?

No. All growth, dividends, and withdrawals from an ISA are completely tax-free. No capital gains tax, no dividend tax, no income tax.

Is a Stocks & Shares ISA risky?

All investments carry risk and values can go down. However, global index funds have historically returned 8-12% per year over long periods. The longer you invest, the more likely you are to see positive returns.

Why it matters

  • £20,000 allowance resets every April
  • Unused allowance can't be carried forward
  • No capital gains tax on ISA profits
  • No dividend tax inside an ISA
  • Withdraw any time with no penalty
