This is a guide to ISAs, or Idividual Savigs Accouts, a tax-efficiet 'wrapper' for savigs ad ivestmets. Quite simply, if you have cash savigs or a ivestmet, there is o reaso ot to use a ISA wrapper. The wrapper is a hassle-free way of savig ad ivestig, whilst keepig the taxma's hads off your moey. There are tax-free allowaces for iterest eared o savigs ad from compay divideds i ivestmets held outside a ISA wrapper, but they are limited ad tax must be paid o amouts above the allowace limit. We therefore believe the ISA to be a 'must-have' wrapper for all savers ad ivestors. How much ca I ivest? Key beefits of the Chelsea ISA Usure where to ivest? How do I ivest? Page 3 of 12
