Cash ISA Limit Update as 'Decision Made' Ahead of Rachel Reeves Speech - Manchester Evening News
ARDROSS, CITY OF MELVILLE, JUL 10 – The Metro Inner Development Assessment Panel granted a 120-day extension to allow further community consultation and reassessment of significant changes to the Ardross housing project.
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced on July 11, 2025, that the £20,000 annual tax-free cash ISA allowance will remain unchanged for now in the UK.
- This decision followed intense speculation and backlash against initial plans to cut the allowance, which some hoped would encourage more investing in stocks and shares.
- Industry experts and organisations, including the Building Societies Association and consumer advocates, warned that reducing the ISA limit could harm savers and disrupt the housing market.
- Over 22 million Britons hold ISA accounts, with data showing more than half of fixed ISA savers used the full £20,000 allowance last year, underscoring its importance for financial resilience.
- While the short-term cut is paused, wider ISA reforms and consultations continue, reflecting the government's aim to balance savings incentives with encouraging greater investment.
