Child Trust Funds

16 and 17-year-olds can save up to £19,000 tax-free this year under today's ISA revamp, meaning they could net £100s in interest if they put the maximum amount away.

Child Trust Funds can be transferred into junior Isas from April 2015, the Government has announced.

Parents may be able to move cash from a Child Trust Fund (CTF) into a junior Isa (JISA) in future, as the Government has launched a consultation on the issue.

The Government has unveiled plans for a tax-efficient junior Isa for kids to save up to £3,000 a year.

A new tax-free children's savings account is set to be launched to encourage parents to set aside money for their offspring, the Government announced today.

The Government has revealed it will end child trust fund (CTF) payments as part of the £6.2 billion of savings to help cut the budget deficit.
