Should I invest my money in an ISA or Government bonds? (Or any other suggestion)
There are a number of UK banks that offer what passes for reasonable interest on an amount of cash held in their current accounts.  I would suggest that you look into these.  In the UK the first £1000 of bank or building society interest is paid tax-free for basic rate taxpayers (£500 for higher rate tax-payers) so if your interest income is below these levels then there is no point in investing in a cash ISA as the interest rate is often lower. At the moment Santander-123 bank account pays 1.5% on up to £20000 and Nationwide do 5% on up to £2500. A good source if information on the latest deals is Martin Lewis' Moneysaving Expert Website
