Inter-generational accounts

These are 'family friendly' easy access accounts.

At the time of death, these accounts can be passed on to a beneficiary(ies) of any age, who will benefit from the higher interest rates. However, no further deposits can be made.

Tax free accounts

Make the most of HM Revenue and Customs savings allowances with a tax free ISA. Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) allow you to save without paying tax on the income you earn or any capital growth.

There are two types of ISA

Cash ISA

Stocks and shares ISA

The overall tax free savings allowance per annum is £7,200 - this can be spread across the two types of ISA.

£3,600 can be invested in a Cash ISA with the remainder invested in a stocks and shares ISA. These two ISAs can be with different providers in the same tax year.

Note: The ISA limit will increase to £5,100 in two stages - from 6 October 2009 (for those aged 50 or over by 5 April 2010) and from 6 April 2010 (for everyone else).

You may decide just to invest the whole amount in a stocks and shares ISA. However, this type of ISA is not offered through Kent Reliance.

ISAs cannot be held in joint names or on behalf of anyone other than yourself, and are available to UK residents over the age of 16.

The favourable tax treatment of ISAs is based on current tax legislation, but this might change in the future.
