Take a Loan from your ISA !

Take a Loan from your ISA ! – In the March 2015 Budget, the government announced that investors would be able to withdraw money from cash and stocks and shares ISA, and replace that within the same tax year – without reducing that years ISA allowance.

So if you are thinking of taking advantage of this flexibility check with your provider, as not all are prepared to apply the new rules. You need to ask them have they adopted the new rules for flexible ISA’s.

How does this work in practice?

Say you have already put £10,000 into an ISA this year but suddenly ned to take an expensive holiday, you take the £10,000 out, providing you replace these monies in this tax year, you will still have room to pay a further £5,240 into your ISA.

In the past, had you withdrawn monies from your ISA, then replacing those monies would have counted as a new contribution and may have put you over your ISA limit.

Needless to say, Junior ISA’s, Help To Buy ISA’s do not have this new flexibility.

Better to still, this flexibility now includes previous ISA savings!!!

A pension is a long-term investment that typically cannot be accessed until age 55 (57 from April 2028). The level of pension benefits offered could change depending on the value of your investments (and any income they may generate).

The interest rates in effect at the time you begin receiving benefits may also have an impact on your pension income. The tax consequences of pension withdrawals will depend on your unique situation. In later Finance Acts, tax rates, tax bases, and tax relief may change.

The opinions expressed by Ray Best are meant to inform and educate. Before making any investment decisions always take advice that is pertinent to your investment personality and financial situation.

You are aware that past performance will not necessarily be repeated in the future, but you should be aware that persistent poor performance invariably will.

The value of an investment and the income from it could go down as well as up.

The return at the end of the investment period is not guaranteed and you may get back less than you originally invested.
