End of tax year – one day left!
By Kirsten Hastings, 4 Apr 18
Investors and savers have just one day left to take advantage of the current tax exemptions and benefits before new rules come into force in the UK on 6 April.
Make use of the Isa allowance

Any unused Isa allowance cannot be carried forward into the next tax year, so if you don’t use your allowance before 6 April it is lost.
Savers can invest a maximum of £20,000 ($28,117, €22,877) into an Isa – including stocks and shares and cash Isas. They are exempt from UK income tax and capital gains tax.
The allowance can be split between a cash and stocks and shares Isa or paid into just one.
Note: Savers can’t have two of the same type of Isa in one tax year.
