The Chancellor is understood to be considering major changes to the tax regime and ISAs

Savers are preparing for drastic changes in Chancellor Rachel Reeves's Budget as the tax-free allowance linked to ISAs is expected to be nearly halved from £20,000 to £12,000.

It is understood the Treasury is floating the policy change to encourage households to invest in the UK stock market, however critics claim it is a stealth tax on those saving their hard-earned cash.


If implemented, savers would be at risk of becoming more liable for tax. Will you end up paying more to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)?
