Billions paid into cash ISAs
Newsletter issue – August 2025
UK savers deposited a record £14 billion into cash ISAs in April 2024, the highest monthly figure since ISAs were introduced in 1999. The surge is attributed to fears of potential changes to ISA rules under Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Speculation arose that Ms. Reeves might reduce the tax-free allowance for cash ISAs. Although she confirmed the £20,000 annual ISA limit will remain, she hinted at curbing the cash portion to encourage investment in stocks and shares.
Ms. Reeves aims to boost economic growth by shifting savings from cash ISAs to stocks and shares ISAs. City Minister Emma Reynolds criticised the current system, saying cash ISAs drain investment from the London Stock Exchange. Banks and building societies oppose the changes, arguing cash ISAs are simple, accessible, and support lending.
Speculation will continue up to the Autumn Budget, as Ms. Reeves did not reveal her final plans for ISAs at her Mansion House speech on the 15th of July 2025, as many commentators thought she would.
