ISA rules

Annual ISA allowance

For the tax year 6 April 2024 - 5 April 2025, your allowance is £20,000. You can choose to split your annual ISA allowance as you wish. For example, all cash or all stocks and shares, or split between the two.

Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) were introduced in 1999 to replace old-style tax free savings. They allow you to invest up to a set allowance each tax year (6 April to 5 April) on which you will pay no tax on any interest you earn. The current allowance is shown below.
Your yearly allowance does not roll over, so if you do not use it, it will not be added to the next year’s allowance.
An ISA may only be held by an investor in his or her sole name. Joint accounts are not allowed
You must be at least 18 years of age to invest in an ISA.
You can save in one Cash ISA per tax year (6 April to 5 April) with Newbury Building Society up to the total annual ISA allowance. The remainder of the annual ISA allowance can be invested in a single or multiple Cash ISAs or a Stocks & Shares ISAs with another provider subject to the providers ISA Terms & Conditions.
We do not accept partial transfers in or out of current tax year ISA subscriptions at Newbury Building Society.
All ISA investments will be and must remain in the beneficial ownership of the investor. Any rights in respect of your ISA may not be assigned and those rights may not be used as security for a loan.
An ISA may not be transferred from one investor to another. However, in the event of death, the ISA subscription allowance (known as an ‘Additional Permitted Allowance’ APS) can be passed to a surviving spouse or civil partner.
You must be resident in the United Kingdom for tax purposes or, if not so resident, either perform duties which, by virtue of Section 28 of Income Tax (Earnings & Pensions) Act 2003 (Crown employees serving overseas), are treated as being performed in the United Kingdom, or you must be married to, or in a civil partnership with, a person who performs such duties. You must inform Newbury Building Society if you cease to be so resident or to perform such duties or be married to, or in a civil partnership with, a person who performs such duties.
The start date for your ISA is the date of the first deposit.
On the instructions of the investor an ISA with all rights and obligations shall be transferred to another ISA manager within five working days.
The ISA must cease on the date of death of the investor. Interest will be paid gross up to the date of closure. Interest arising after the date of death will be subject to deduction of income tax at the appropriate rate and should be declared to HMRC as part of the deceased tax liabilities.
You do not have to pay income tax on the interest paid in each of the years that you have your ISA provided all the ISA terms and conditions have been followed.
For a period of 30 days after opening your ISA, you may instruct us that you have changed your mind and we will return your deposit to you, subject to cheque clearance, with any accrued interest (tax will not be deducted). Alternatively, we can help you switch to another savings account with us (conditions allowing). The 30 day cancellation period starts on the day you open your Cash ISA and ends at close of business on the 30th calendar day. To cancel your ISA agreement with us, you can either visit or write to your local branch, enclosing your passbook.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year.

Tax free is the contractual rate of interest payable where interest is exempt from income tax.
