Income ISAs

Compare Latest Income Investment ISA Deals

Investing in an ISA allows you to benefit from tax efficient returns. If you are an income seeker it makes sense to utilize your annual ISA allowance to mitigate tax on any income. 


See below for a selection of income isa investment options:

Investing for Income - ISA Structured Deposit Plans
ProviderPlan NameDeposit TakerISA OptionTermMaximum Potential ReturnMore Info
FTSE Income Deposit PlanRoyal Bank of Scotland plcyes6 Years7.25%

  • Available for Cash ISA & Cash ISA transfers
  • Also available to businesses, charities and trusts

Important Information: Structured deposits offer you the potential to earn higher returns than you would with a regular savings account. Your returns are based on the performance of an index or commodity. If the investment does not perform well you may receive no income or capital growth, but you can be confident that your capital will be repaid. You have no access to your deposit during the term of the account, typically 3 to 6 years but your original capital will be repaid in full at the end of the term. In the event that the deposit taker is unable to repay your initial investment and any returns stated you may be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) depending on your individual circumstances.

There is also a risk that the company backing the plan known as the Counterparty may be unable to repay your initial investment and any returns stated.
