  • The new tax year, commencing 6 April, presents a crucial opportunity for many to fully utilise their £20,000 cash ISA allowance before significant changes are implemented.
  • From 6 April 2027, the annual cash ISA contribution limit for adults under 65 will be reduced to £12,000, although the total ISA allowance will remain £20,000.
