Junior ISAs

  • *From 1 November 2011 the Junior ISA replaces the children's trust fund.
  • A Junior ISA is a long term savings fund and interest in the ISA rolls up tax-free.
  • Junior ISA is available to UK resident children under the age of 18 who do not already have a child trust fund.
  • It can be split into cash and shares.
  • Where parents give children income producing assets, such as cash or shares, any income earned on those assets (such as interest or dividends) in excess of £100 per year is taxable as the parent's, under the income tax Settlement provisions.
  • The settlement provisions do not apply to gifts made by grandparents or other relatives.
