The 2016/17 tax year is now over and if you didn’t use your £15,240 ISA allowance you have now lost it. But, the good news is you have a new £20,000 Isa allowance for the two-week old 2017/18 tax year.

The vast majority of people won’t get around to using their Isa allowance until March 2018, but invest now and you will make more money. That’s because your money will have a whole year longer to grow tax-free. This can add up to a lot of money if you invest your whole £20,000 allowance.
