In the Budget Statement, March 2010 it was advised that ISA subscription levels will be reviewed each year, in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI). This is a change that the industry-body, TISA, supported by brokers such as Selftrade, have been campaigning for over many years and we’re delighted to see this come to fruition. The first announcement will be made towards the end of 2010.

HMRC reports that "From 6 April 2011 and over the course of the next Parliament, the annual ISA limits will increase annually in line with RPI. The new annual limits will be rounded to the nearest multiple of £120 so that individuals who save monthly will be able to calculate their monthly savings more easily. The new limits will be calculated by reference to the RPI for the September before the start of the tax year, and HM Revenue & Customs will announce the new limits as soon as possible after the RPI figure is published, and at least four months in advance of the start of the new tax year in which they will apply."

Consultation is also to take place on allowing AIM and PLUS listed stocks to be included in an ISA.

We will update these details as further information becomes available.

Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
