Deloitte Comments On Reduction In Value Of Equity ISAs

"The change to the rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) will
reduce the value of equity ISAs to investors. Depending on
growth rates, the benefit might be worth £72 per year for
a basic rate taxpayer, or less than £105 for a higher
rate taxpayer. These figures are correct if the annual
investment return is 5%, split equally between income and
growth. Prior to the changes planned for next year, these
figures would be over £76 and £144
respectively.
"If the total annual return is 10%, with 3% of that
being income, the annual tax saving for a basic rate taxpayer
is less than £135. For a higher rate taxpayer, the annual
saving is approximately £177. At present, this would be
worth almost £155, or £288 for a higher rate
taxpayer.
"Whilst a tax exempt savings plan is attractive in
principle, the real saving in tax is falling and continues to
be of most benefit to higher rate taxpayers."
