The revised ISA allowance which came into effect on 6 October means that the 21 million* people in the UK who will be aged 50 or over by 5 April 2010 can save an additional £3,000 in an ISA. This rise from £7,200 to £10,200 is an exciting opportunity that could make a real difference to your investments and a valuable chance to protect further savings from the clutches of the taxman

IT’S A SAVING THAT CAN REALLY ADD UP OVER THE YEARS...
Putting aside that extra £3,000 now could make a real difference in the years to come. Your extra £3,000 could be worth £4,810 after ten years and £10,300 after 25. The figures shown are based on a typical UKcould be worth £4,810 after ten years and £10,300 after 25. The figures shown are based on a typical UKequity fund with an initial charge of 3.5%, a growth rate of 7% and annual fund charges of 1.67%.
These figures are only examples of how your investment might grow and are not a reliable indicatorof future performance.
...ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE THE EXTRA ALLOWANCE EVERY YEAR
The extra allowance is worth even more if you plan to use it every year. You would need to invest just£250 a month to use this extra allowance over the course of the year, and it could grow to £37,800 afterten years. That’s on top of your current ISA allowance. After 25 years it could be worth an impressive£146,000 – just for putting aside an additional £250 a month. The figures shown are based on a typicalUK equity fund with an initial charge of 3.5%, a growth rate of 7% and annual fund charges of 1.67%.

AND THE TAXMAN CAN’T TOUCH IT
Don’t forget, any money you save in an ISA is free from capital gains tax. There is also no further tax to pay on any income you receive. This means you can build up a substantial sum over the years, whichyou can withdraw whenever you want.
