Tax proof 16 & 17 year olds & students

DID YOU KNOW? 16 and 17 year olds & students can future proof themselves against tax by putting money (up to 3k) in a tax free mini-cash ISA. Even current non-taxpayers should do this, as cash ISA rates compete well with normal savings accounts and provided the money’s not withdrawn, ISAs keep their tax free status. ISA limits are being lowered in the next couple of years, so if possible, stash as much away now as you can. Discuss. Articles: ISA Guide, Mini-cash ISAs, Childrens Savings Accounts

True - but there are many - it's not substantive - but its factual. It's also a useful way for parents to give money to their kids - on the agreement that it is locked away so that no one is paying tax on it.
