The Labour government has scrapped plans to introduce a 'British ISA' to the market, according to a report.The initiative was one of the flagship measures unveiled in former Conservative chancellor Jeremy Hunt's March budget, and would have offered savers the chance to increase their tax-free savings pot each year from £20,000 to £25,000 if the £5,000 incremental sum was invested in UK companies.
Responding to the FT report, AJ Bell chief executive Michael Summersgill said: 'The UK ISA was a political gimmick that was doomed to fail in its objective of boosting investment in UK Plc. 'The new government deserves huge credit for consigning this ill-conceived idea to the policy dustbin and will hopefully now take a more sensible, long-term approach to ISA reform than their predecessors, focused on simplification for the benefit of consumers.
