An ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a tax-free wrapper for savings and investments. Any growth, interest, or dividends earned within an ISA are completely free from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax — forever. The annual allowance is £20,000 per person (2024/25). Unused allowance cannot be carried forward.

Pro Tip

The Lifetime ISA (LISA) bonus of 25% on contributions up to £4,000 = £1,000 free per year. However, withdrawing for any reason other than first home purchase or retirement (age 60+) incurs a 25% government withdrawal charge — effectively a loss.
