Depositing into your ISA before the tax year ends

The limit on how much you can deposit into ISAs for the 2025/2026 tax year is £20,000.

To make sure your deposit counts towards your 2025/2026 ISA allowance, you need to deposit the money by 11:59 PM UK time on 5 April 2026. Any deposits made after this will count towards the 2026/2027 ISA allowance instead.

Everything you need to know

  • Deposits must be made before the deadline to count towards this tax year’s allowance

  • Stocks & Shares ISA deposits may take 1–2 working days to process, but will count as long as you make the deposit before the deadline

  • Cash ISA deposits count immediately towards this tax year’s allowance

What happens after the deadline?

From 12:00 AM UK time on 6 April 2026, deposits will automatically count towards the new tax year’s ISA allowance.

The annual ISA allowance resets at the start of each tax year. Any unused allowance won’t carry over.
