The new tax year brings fresh annual allowances for ISAs and SIPPs. While it always makes sense to invest in a tax-efficient manner, the mantra of ‘use it or lose it’ has arguably never been as important. This is because from the start of the next tax year (6 April 2027) major changes come into force, with unspent pension funds subject to inheritance tax, a reduction in the cash ISA annual allowance to £12,000 for those under the age of 65, and savings tax rates increasing.
To discuss the changes and how people can use this tax year to plan ahead, Kyle is joined by Craig Rickman, personal finance editor at interactive investor.
