The maximum you can save is �7000.

The interest doesn't count as saving - it's in addition to the �7K.

Do you mean how much more interest will you get on 7k gross as opposed to net???

7K is only the max for a maxi Isa for a cash mini it's 3k but anyway 4% of 7k if deposited for a year is �280

Im a BusyBee

so as i understand it the tax saving on the interest for a basic rate tax payer would be �56.

Im a busy bee,

Thats what I thought,
you only gain � 50 or so over the year by using an ISA

There must be more benefit than that !

With a stocks and shares ISA you also have the advantage of no capital gains tax. On a single year's ISA this may not amount to much but can be helpful if you've had one every year and want/need to cash the lot in at one.

You don't need to tell the taxman - less paperwork.
