What is an ISA?
An Individual Savings Account (ISA) is a tax-efficient savings account. There are different types of ISA, and we provide the Stocks & Shares ISA where you can trade in shares and your gains, dividends and income are tax free. The amount you can save into an ISA annually is substantial. For the current tax year, the limit is £20,000.
How can you make the most of your savings?
With no tax to pay on capital gains or interest earned, using your annual ISA allowance is one of the most tax-efficient ways to invest. By investing your ISA allowance into a Walker Crips Self-Select Stocks & Shares ISA, you can choose your own investments and have full control over your own ISA.
A wide range of investments are available through our Self-Select Stocks & Shares ISA service. You can also sign up for and use our investment management service, or you could make your investment decisions yourself.
