It’s half way through the tax year, have you made the most of your tax free allowance for 2024/25?A tax free allowance is the amount of money you can have without paying any tax in a specific tax year (starting 6th April). When you open an ISA you can earn tax-free interest on your savings. The ISA subscription can be split between Cash and Stocks and Shares ISAs, but a saver can only pay into a maximum of one Cash ISA and one Stocks and Shares ISA each year.
