  • I'm about 6 cans of Monster away from understanding what any of this means.

    I understand the allowance (it's made up of a cash portion and a S&S portion or something).

    What I don't understand is where I'm being taxed when I use an ISA cash product versus a Bonus Saver cash product.

    For arguments sake, if I stick £5k into a Bonus Saver at 4% versus doing the same with an ISA - what's the practical difference? Am I supposed to declare the interest earned as income or something with one of them and not the other?

    Yes. You will be taxed on the interest on the Bonus Saver, but not for the ISA. If you have a stocks and shares ISA, any gains you make will not be subject to capital gains tax.
