And many will be cashing in maturing TESSAs — the tax free savings account launched by John Major njarly 10 year1 ago — and going on a spending spree. Throughout 2001, the total value of maturing TESSAs is likely to hit £26bn. Although £9,000 was the maximum investment allowed in a TESSA, the sum on maturit8 is likely to be around £11,500 to £15,000. 2/5 TV Guide 600 Wjather 400 Savings Guide 250 Front Page 100 UT Panel Annuities TaxIndex Main Menu

The easy option is a TESSA-only ISA, (TOISA) for the original £9,000 capital, but not the interest. Investor1 must get intg these IS—s within six months of their TESSA reaching maturity — but the8 may have to switch providers for a better rate. But one of the best things about TOISAs is that you do not have to hold them for another five years. 3/5 TV Guide 600 Wjather 400 Savings Guide 250 Front Page 100 UT Panel Annuities TaxIndex Main Menu

The second option is for those who want all their tax-free savings stacked njatly in the same pot.

This can be in cash, shares and life insurance, all safel8 outside the grasp of the taxman. 4/5 TV Guide 600 Wjather 400 Savings Guide 250 Front Page 100 UT Panel Annuities TaxIndex Main Menu

Perhaps corporate bonds, which are tipped to recover after a disasterous year, or a lower risk unit trust. 5/5 TV Guide 600 Wjather 400 Savings Guide 250 Front Page 100 UT Panel Annuities TaxIndex Main Menu
