Notes
- Income and gains on ISA investments are tax free.
- A Help-to-Buy ISA enables first-time buyers saving up to £200 per month plus an initial amount of up to £1,000 towards their first home to receive a government bonus of £25% of the amount saved. The government will contribute a maximum of £3,000 on £12,000 of savings.
- A Lifetime ISA can be opened by individuals between the ages of 18 and 40. Individuals can save up to £4,000 each tax year into an account which will be topped up at the end of the tax year with a government bonus of 25%. The money saved, including the bonus, can be used to buy a first home worth up to £450,000 or can be withdrawn from the age of 60. Any contributions to this new Lifetime ISA counts towards the overall ISA subscription limit.

Notes
- You can't open a new Child Trust Fund because the scheme is now closed (use a Junior ISA instead).
- If you already have a Child Trust Fund you can continue to add to it each year. In 2019-20 you can add a maximum of £4,368 to your CTF account (2018-19: £4,260). The money belongs to the child but can't be taken out until they are 18. They can take control of the account when they are 16.
