Mini/Maxi ISA's.

Options
I have a mini cash ISA and I know that each tax year I can save £3000 in it.

My question is what is the difference between a mini and maxi ISA and can a mini ISA be developed into a maxi ISA?

    A maxi ISA allows you to put up to £7000 in stocks and shares - it's not meant for cash.

    If you want to have a cash element you go for mini ISAs. You then have a mini cash ISA (£3k) and a mini S&S ISA (£4k).

    From April 2008, the mini and maxi definition drops and there will just be an ISA allowance of £7200 of which up to £3600 can be cash.
