i dont think you can get tessia anymore i think this is the remains of previous tax free savings products.
first think you should do is get an postal ISA with abbey at 5.35%,
5.35% outside of an isa would be about 4.2% so this 1% difference = £10 for every £1000
second dump £3000 in there , after 4 months with get you about £40
then when the tax year runs out on april5th you can put another £3000 in there.
so basically
you have an annual limit of £3000 to be put into a cash isa, once you withdraw money from it you cant put it back in until next finnanical year.
there are maxi-isa which allow you to have £7000 invested in the stock market but if you hav ent got a cash isa i would recommend going for that first.
see th articles on the left for more info.0 -
