OPERATING THE ACCOUNT
You can invest up to £3,600 in a cash ISA with one provider in the tax year 2009-10. From 6 October 2009, the ISA subscription limit increased to £10,200 for anyone eligible to invest in an ISA who was born on or before 5 April 1960 (that is, who will be aged 50 or over during the current tax year). Up to £5,100 of the new ISA allowance can be saved in a cash ISA with one provider. The remainder of the £10,200 can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA with either the same or another provider. Alternatively, the full £10,200 can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA with one provider.
These higher limits will apply to all eligible ISA investors with effect from 6 April 2010.
