Making the most of your tax-efficient allowances
Important information - please keep in mind that the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest.
Every tax year, on 6 April, you get new ISA and pension allowances. These have valuable tax benefits that are designed to encourage you to save what you can and help you make the most of the money you put aside. Here’s a comparison of the Fidelity ISA and Fidelity Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) in the 2020/21 tax year.
