Chancellor Rachel Reeves will put brakes on a plan to improve the popular British tax-free savings products, popular British tax-free savings products, after the creation of Society and Consumer Champion next week.

Reavs has not left Cash ISAS plan to improveBut government officials admitted that there were “separate views” about moving forward and the ministers wanted more time to consult the industry.

Government officials said that it would use her Haveli House speech next Tuesday and is among the British companies, to promote the public to invest in shares and shares to promise more advice and support.

Chancellor In an attempt to move some of the £ 300BN held in the UK companies in this product, its 15 July speech was widely expected to announce the annual tax-free ISA allowance cut.

Government officials said last month said that Reaves wanted to set an annual limit for Cash Isas, which is at the lower level compared to the £ 20,000-one year overall sewal on the amount of the British Sever, which can shield tax in individual savings accounts.

But this idea is intended to transfer savings from cash isas Stock and Share ISASIs controversial.

Building Society argues that they use these products to fund home loans and can increase the cost of mortgage to prevent saver.

Robin Fieth, Chief Executive Officer of the Building Society Association, said in a letter to Reves this week that changing cash Christian allowances was “unlikely to encourage people to invest”.

The BSA stated that HM revenue and customs data showed that more than 18 MN people have cash ISAS. About half of cash is conducted by people with income less than £ 20,000 per year, and the average savings remains less than only £ 13,400, the added.

An official of the Treasury said that when ISA reforms were still a live option, Reaves wanted to consult the industry more widely with the industry about the best ways to transfer more money to high-up investments.

A spokesperson to the Treasury said, “Our ambition is to ensure that people’s hard -earned savings are giving the best returns and investing more in the UK economy.”

Reeves’ decision surprised many people in the financial services sector to not proceed with the improvement of Cash Isas in its Haveli House speech.

This will also manipulate the lobbying months ahead of the Reeves’s autumn budget, with a border on the cash ISAS with brokers, investment banks and asset managers.

But the consumer champion has argued that reduced tax-free allowance for Cash ISAS is unlikely to change people’s behavior, while other critics warned that it would be difficult to ensure that the money would be washed away in London-list shares.

Meanwhile, Reeves hopes that the public will have some impact in transferring the remaining amount from cash savings to investment from cash savings to the public to persuade the stocks to invest money in stocks and shares.

Efforts to encourage the saver to invest for the purpose of obtaining better long -term returns come after the proposal of the Financial Conduct Authority. New financial advice rules To help the saver get free “targeted support”.

The city’s regulators, in one of the largest planned shake-ups for financial advice in more than a decade, want to allow companies such as investment websites to give suggestions for people sitting on too much cash that they can put some money in shares.
