In this video I go through everything that you need to know about investing and taxes.

This includes the 3 main vehicles we can use to invest in the UK - ISAs, pensions and general investment accounts.

And the 3 main 'phases' - before investing, during investing (i.e being invested) and when withdrawing.

Ultimately, ISAs and pensions have great tax advantages. So if possible, make the most of these.

But, for some types of investments (e.g crypto) we can only use GIAs. Just be aware that with GIAs we may be liable to pay capital gains tax or dividends tax.

Capital gains tax arises when we sell, and the allowance is currently £3,000 per tax year.
Dividend tax arises when we earn dividends and this happens when we're investing as most funds pay dividends, and the allowance is currently £500 per tax year.

Watch the video for the full details!
