What is a General Investment Account?

A General Investment Account (GIA) is a savings account where you hold investments, but unlike an ISA, isn't tax-free.

What are the benefits of a General Investment Account?

A General Investment Account (GIA) is a great way to invest if you’ve already reached your ISA allowance for the year. You can easily access and withdraw your money at any time.

Anything else I need to know?

When you invest in a GIA you may have to pay tax on any income or capital gains you earn from your investments. Alternatively, you can invest up to £20,000 each tax year into an Investment ISA, where your gains are tax-free. If you don’t already have an Investment ISA you might want to consider this before you invest in a GIA.
