Understanding tax jargon
Tax terminology doesn’t have to be confusing. We break down the most commonly used terms so you can understand exactly what they mean and how they may affect your financial plans.
ISA
- Capital gains tax
- Inheritance tax
- Pension annual allowance
- Pension tax relief
- Lifetime allowance

What is an ISA?
An ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a simple and tax‑efficient way to save or invest. Each tax year, you have an allowance that lets you put money away without paying income tax or capital gains tax on any interest, dividends, or investment growth.
Whether you’re building an emergency fund, saving towards a goal, or investing for the long term, ISAs are designed to help your money grow more efficiently. And because you don’t pay tax when you withdraw, they offer valuable flexibility as your plans evolve.
The value of your pension plan and its investments can go down as well as up, and there are no guarantees. You might get back less than you’ve paid in, and the benefits you receive will depend on the value of your plan when you take them.
