Savings Account or ISA?

I have a little job on the side from my full time job where I am invoicing the company for my time. When I get paid I want to be able to put a quarter of the money aside so that when I do my tax return the money is there to pay my tax/NI.
Would it be better for me to open a savings account for this, or open up a mini cash ISA?
TIA.

Always better if you are a taxpayer to use your ISA allowances first. If you use an ordinary savings account you will lose 20% or 40% of the interest to tax.0
