If you have money in a stocks and shares ISA, the government are going to tax it. 22% TAX April 2027 ETFs £12,000

Transcript

If you have money in a stocks and shares ISA, the government are going to tax it. Rachel Reeves is now considering a 22% tax on the interest earned from uninvested cash that's held in a stocks and shares ISA. And if it does go ahead, it could come into effect from April 2027. But just to clarify, this tax would not apply to interest earned from money that's invested into things like stocks and ETFs. This comes alongside the cash ISA allowance being cut to 12,000 pounds, all with the aim of encouraging more people to actually invest their money instead of leaving it in cash. And I'm fully on board with that, but I just think that changes like this just actively discourage people from investing, because it feels like the government can just change the rules and move the goalposts whenever they like. And it does make you wonder, if the government are willing to tax interest on cash, at what point do they start taxing interest on stocks and shares? This is all we know for now, but if you have any questions, let me know.

⚠️If you have cash in a Stocks & Shares ISA, Rachel Reeves could be about to tax it… Right now, any interest earned on uninvested cash held inside a Stocks & Shares ISA is completely tax free. But according to reports, the government is considering introducing a 22% tax on that interest from April 2027! 📈 However, this would NOT apply to money that’s actually invested in stocks, ETFs, funds etc. This would only apply to the cash sitting there uninvested… Phew! 😅 This comes alongside the Cash ISA allowance being cut from £20,000 to £12,000, with the wider goal of encouraging more people to invest rather than leave money in cash. And honestly, I’m fully onboard with encouraging more investing long term… But I also think constantly changing the rules, allowances and tax treatment makes it harder for people to plan ahead financially! ❌ Because if people feel like the government can move the goalposts whenever they want, it risks discouraging people from investing altogether! 📉 And naturally, it raises the question… if they’re willing to tax interest on cash held inside a Stocks & Shares ISA, where does it stop? 🤔 Nothing has officially been confirmed yet, but if these changes go ahead, they could have a big impact on how people use ISAs in the future. What do you think - fair change, or another hit to savers and investors? 💬 #PersonalFinance #investing #savingmoney
