Quilter says Cash ISA limit cut offers little scope to boost investing

By Public Technologies
  • Quilter urged investment incentives on October 28, 2026, as reports indicated the proposed Cash ISA limit cut would be reversed.
  • The proposed reduction from £20,000 to £12,000 would do little to encourage investing, its analysis found.
  • Cash accounted for 66.2% of ISA subscriptions in 2023/24. Cash ISA subscriptions rose £27.9 billion, or 67%, that year.
  • An additional investment-only allowance above the £20,000 ISA limit could encourage investing, supported by better financial education.
  • Abandoning the cut should also mean scrapping associated restrictions, including the proposed 22% charge on interest from cash within non-cash ISAs.
