A General Investment Account or GIA is a really plain name for the most basic place to hold your investments, no bells and whistles. There is no tax saving in a GIA so depending on your personal circumstances you may need to pay tax on your returns if they exceed your personal allowances.
If your ISA is full for the year and you’ve reached your £20,000 limit but you want to keep investing, a GIA means you don’t have to stop! If you find yourself in this situation, we will let you know you have hit your limit and we can open a GIA for you.
Please remember that tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each customer and may be subject to change in the future.
