Newcastle Building Society is encouraging savers to make the most of their tax-free savings, before the end of the tax year on April 5. 

With the end of the tax year right around the corner, there’s not long left to use up this year’s ISA allowance.  

Come talk to us in branch and see how you could make the most of your ISA allowance and save tax-free up to £20,000. We want you to feel confident that your money is working as hard as you do.

Katherine is a customer of our Stokesley branch

She’s a careful saver and has spent years building her savings in a Cash ISA. But with a goal of retiring at 57, she wanted to know if her money could help her achieve this: “I was probably fairly confident from a savings point of view, but less confident on the investing side.”

Katherine spoke with a Newcastle Financial Adviser at our Stokesley branch to explore her options

With the advice and guidance of her Financial Adviser, she's started investing in a Stocks and Shares ISA: "I definitely wouldn't have done it just by researching online. Having that interaction and someone asking the right questions made all the difference. A local branch gives you the opportunity to have a proper conversation. You feel more comfortable asking questions when you're there together."

What you need to know

The end of the tax year is on April 5. 

  • You can save up to £20,000 in an ISA until that date
  • You can save the whole £20,000 ISA allowance in Cash ISAs, Stocks and Shares ISAs, or any mixture of the two 

The new 2026/2027 tax year begins on April 6.

  • Your ISA allowance will reset on that date and you will have until the next tax year to save up to £20,000 in an ISA
  • You can save your whole ISA allowance in Cash ISAs, Stocks and Shares ISAs, or across both

As long as you don’t go over the £20,000 limit, you can use your ISA allowance how you want. And you won’t pay tax on any interest you earn in an ISA. 

Say yes to tax-free savings – find your nearest branch and speak to one of our friendly advisers to make the most of your ISA allowance.
