Because of their tax advantages ISAs are subject to annual subscription limits. The overall ISA subscription limit is $20,000 for the 2017/18 tax year.
A payment by you into an ISA in any tax year is called a subscription. You can subscribe to any combination of permitted ISAs in the same tax year, but you cannot exceed the overall maximum ISA allowance of $20,000 for the 2017/18 tax year.
Monthly investments
The 2017/18 ISA allowance has been increased to $20,000. Whilst this amount cannot be divided equally into 12 monthly Direct Debit payments (in whole pounds), it is helpful to note that if you are intending to fully subscribe to your ISA, your Direct Debit amount will be automatically adjusted on your final payment to prevent oversubscriptions.
For example, if you request a Direct Debit of $1,667 per month, providing you have not made any further subscriptions to this ISA, the 12th ISA payment will be automatically adjusted to $1,663. (11 payments of $1,667 and 1 payment of $1,663 equals $20,000.)
Automatic Direct Debit adjustments can only be made as a decrease to the final payment to prevent oversubscription, we are not able to increase the final payment where twelve equal payments would fall short of the total $20,000 limit, e.g. where the monthly Direct Debit is $1,666 or less.
Please note: it is still your responsibility to monitor your overall ISA subscriptions. The automated Direct Debit adjustment within the World Selection ISA will not take into account subscriptions to other ISAs. We can only accept instructions for Direct Debit payments into the World Selection ISA in whole pounds.
The value of the tax benefits described depends on individual circumstances. The tax treatment of ISAs could change in the future.
The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.
