    There is no such a thing as joint ISA.

    Joint isa's are not permitted. However, both you and your partner/spouse could open a mini cash isa each this tax year (i.e. by April 5th 2006) with £3,000. When the new tax year arrives (Apr 6th 2006) you will both get new £3,000 cash isa allowances, therefore allowing you to both top up your mini cash isas to £6,000 each. That's a total of £12,000 saved.
    Please call me 'Kazza'.

    And if we are talking ISAs and not CASH ISAs, then you have a £7000 personal allowance each in total per tax year.
