Latest News About New Levy Hits Savers Hard

The UK Treasury imposed 22% tax on cash interest from stocks and shares ISAs. Chancellor Reeves rolled out the change as part of her reform bundle. It kicks in next tax year. HMRC claims the levy will broaden the tax base and boost more revenue. Critics argue it may scare off savers from ISAs and strain household budgets. Financial analysts say investors might shift to other options or trim contributions. Some economists question whether the plan will fix fairness or hit its revenue targets.
