HM Revenue and Customs practice and the law relating to taxation are complex and subject to individual circumstances and charges which cannot be foreseen.

There are 3 types of Stocks and Shares ISAs, and each one has a slightly different structure:
Stocks and Shares ISA
You must be over 18 years old to open a Stocks and Shares ISA. Stocks and Shares ISAs are paid into investment classes such as shares. These are generally longer term investments, because your money can rise and fall. If you leave your investment in a Stocks and Shares ISA over a longer period of time it is more likely to increase and better weather market volatility.
Lifetime Stocks and Shares ISA
You must be between 18 and 39 years old to open a lifetime ISA. When you save or invest in a lifetime Stocks and Shares ISA you receive a 25% government bonus on top of your savings. However, this bonus can only be used for limited purposes such as buying your first home or for retirement. A 25% penalty will apply to the value of the withdrawal if your savings are taken out for any other reason. You can pay £4,000 a year into a Lifetime Stocks and Shares ISA.
Junior Stocks and Shares ISA
Junior Stocks and Shares ISAs are available from birth to age 18. Anyone can pay into a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA on behalf of the child. You may only receive £9,000 a year as a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA holder. Junior Stocks and Shares ISAs are paid into investment classes such as shares.
Ultimately, a good financial adviser will guide you on the best way to invest your money. Ensuring you have utilised your relevant tax allowances.

The main difference is how your money is used once you've handed it over. With a cash ISA, your money gets put into a savings pot, and you receive interest on the accumulated cash, usually from a bank or building society. You can pay £20,000 into a cash ISA a year and any interest is tax free.
When it comes to Stocks and Shares ISAs it's slightly different. Your money may be invested in the stock market, government bonds or other assets. It's an investment rather than a savings account. At SSA our financial advisers would work alongside you to help you decide the best combination of investments to suit your attitude to risk and financial goals.
Both investment ISAs and Cash ISAs are tax free.
