Make Isas tax-free, urges Fidelity International

Isas should be made totally tax-free, according to Fidelity International.

The financial services organisation made its assertions ahead of the delivery of the pre-Budget report by Alistair Darling.

It said that by making this change, the chancellor of the exchequer will be able to kick-start the nation's savings and also help consumers to be better-positioned when it comes to being ready for their retirement.

Gary Shaughnessy, UK managing director at Fidelity International, said that Isas are a key savings vehicle for anyone who is looking to build up a pot of cash for when they give up work.

He also welcomed the recent decision to increase the Isa limit to £10,200.

"The real goal for the government is not rewarding those existing savers who can afford to invest more, but to encourage people without current savings to make a start," Mr Shaughnessy added.

Isas were introduced in 1999 to replace Tessas and Peps.
