Explained in plain English

Do other countries have Isas?

While the UK has its specific Isa scheme, many other countries offer their own versions of tax-advantaged savings accounts. These schemes are designed to encourage citizens to save by making a portion of their investment returns or contributions tax-free, though the rules and limits vary widely.
