What about cash mini-ISAs?

A cash mini-ISA is a special savings account in which the Government allows you to save up to £3600 per annum without paying tax on the interest earned. This means that a Stoozer could use it for the first £3600 of their Stooz money in any one year, thus earning interest without tax.

However, once you have paid £3600 into the account, you can not pay any more into the account in the same tax year ... even if you have withdrawn the original money paid in, so only use an ISA for your Stooz Pot if you are not already planning to use one for your normal savings. Besides, most Stoozers would hope to be able to build a stooz pot well in excess of £3600! ISAs sometimes have interest rates a little higher than normal savings accounts, but we have excluded them from our tables because of the low maximum investment.

If you think that we have missed any useful stoozing accounts, why not tell us in the forums. Click HERE For details on the current Bank of England Base Rates
