Tax-free investing made simple – for you and your children
A Junior Individual Savings Account (JISA) is a tax-efficient way to save or invest for a child’s future. All returns, whether from cash savings, shares, bonds, or funds, are free from UK income tax and capital gains tax.
Eligible investments include:
Available for children under 18
Annual contribution limit: £9,000 (2025/26 tax year)
Funds are locked until the child turns 18
At 18, the JISA automatically becomes an adult ISA

Cannot already hold a Child Trust Fund (CTF) (unless transferring it into the JISA)

For the 2025/26 tax year, the Junior ISA annual allowance is £9,000.
This limit applies across all Junior ISAs your child may hold, including both cash and stocks & shares accounts.
