The simple answer is you can deposit a maximum of 20k in each tax year, that can be split between one of each different type of ISA, but not two of the same.
You also get 12.3k of capital gains tax allowance for free each year, so for starting with £100 a month contributions, chances are it will be a while before you reach the point where an ISA would be beneficial.
You can deposit up to 20 000 GBP in your ISA for a financial year. If you setup pies with an AutoInvest deposit schedule, once the ISA allowance is reached, the recurring deposits will cease. Once the new financial year begins, you will have to setup the pies’ deposit schedule again.
So the pies value will do continue to increase. (all being well) it’s just the deposits that would cease if £20,000 was reached?
So for example: I’m not able to max out £20,000 in a financial year due to income.
So depositing £1200 a year, year on year, will allow the pie to grow until I decide to withdraw the funds regardless of the type of account (ISA or Invest)
Correct. I’m also going to go out on a limb and assume you are quite young. Have a look into a LISA as well. You can put in 4k a year, and the UK government will add 1k. You can use it to fund your first home, or your retirement. If you want access to the funds, then there is a penalty to do so.
Similarly, google how many people can actually beat an index tracker or fund.
Just food for thought, please do not take as advice
Thanks again for all of the advice and food for thought.
You’re right I am relatively young and just starting out with stocks/shares etc However, have ticked off the first home hurdle so my current goal is to work towards being financially comfortable in the future.
Can anyone recommend any courses / educational material to assist with my knowledge and understanding?
