“Chancellor Jeremy Hunt is considering significant Isa reforms to encourage individual savers to invest in the UK stock market. Proposed changes may include additional tax-free allowances for investing in UK companies and merging stocks and shares ISAs with cash ISAs. This initiative aims to attract more capital to London-listed companies and boost the UK’s investment landscape.“
