Let's start with understanding what ISAs actually are. An ISA is an individual savings account that was introduced in April 1999 to replace TESSAs and PEPs.

The benefit of ISAs: The ISAs are investments that are free from income and capital gains. In other words ISA is a tax-exempt savings plan.

The Investment Limit: Each person can invest upto £7,000 in an ISA in each tax year that is from April to April.

The types of ISAs: There are mainly two types of ISAs namely Maxi ISA and Mini ISA. A Maxi ISA allows an investor to invest a maximum of £7,000 into shares. However, the sum can be broken to invest £3,000 into cash if desired. In contrast, you can buy three Mini ISAs in one tax year including three components namely shares, cash and insurance. A Mini ISA imposes a limit of £3,000 in cash and £4,000 in shares.

The restrictions:

* No single investor can invest in both Maxi and Mini ISA in the same tax year. * The taxman allows you to buy a Maxi ISA through one provider each year. Mini ISA allows up to three providers each year, one for each component. However, no two components can be bought from one provider. * Investors must normally be aged 18 (16 for cash mini ISAs) and UK residents to be eligible for ISA investment.
