From 6th October 2009 anyone aged 50 or over this tax year can save an additional £3,000 in their Individual Savings Accout ( ISA ).

Up until now consumers have been able to invest a total of £7,200 each tax year within the tax shelter of an ISA .

As from 6th October 2009, anyone over the age of 50 can invest a total of £10,200 in an ISA (with up to £5,100 in a Cash ISA).

From 6th April 2010 this new allowance is extended to anyone aged 18 or over.

With 21 million eligible people in the UK and at a time of record low interest rates, this opportunity to shelter an additional £3,000 of savings from tax should not be ignored!

Remember you can hold up to two ISAs each year. One cash ISA and one equity ISA , which is used as a tax free wrapper for stocks and shares and fund investments.

Under the new rules and from the dates stated above, you can put up to £10,200 into an equity ISA , minus the amount you have put in a cash ISA. The most you can put in a cash ISA is £5,100.
