ISA ISA ISA
If you take your money out of an ISA you can't usually put it back again. You lose the tax breaks until you've built the savings up again at £7,000 a year. Keeping the fund tax-free is an incentive to put off the rainy day when you stop saving and start spending.
The government has decided to make an exception for people who took their cash out of Northern Rock ISAs during the run on the bank in September 2007. If they want to put their money back into an ISA they can do so by 5 April 2008. In case you don't trust Northern Rock any more, you can get a certificate from them to say how much you withdrew and then you can deposit it with another manager.
