Plan for tax year end

The current tax year ends in April 2009, but you should try to make the most of your tax-free allowance as early in the year as possible. If you have the money available now, investing in an ISA is a very sensible option.

You can open a Cash ISA for as little as £1, and you’ll receive a top rate that’s guaranteed to pay at least the Bank of England’s base rate until 31st December 2008*.

And what’s more, if you choose not to be paid interest on your cash ISA you can offset your Intelligent Finance Cash ISA against your mortgage balance, which could save you thousands over the term of your mortgage. For ISA details visit the savings section. And remember to watch out for further reviews in the new tax year.

*If the Bank of England base rate moves up, the rate on the Cash ISA will change within one calendar month to at least the Bank of England base rate.
