If you are looking for somewhere to invest your child's £250 voucher from the Government's Child Trust Fund initiative, then get your child's savings off to a flying start with the Family Investments Child Trust Fund Account.
Children born on or after 1 September 2002 and up to 2 January 2011 and who are eligible for child benefit and are resident in the UK, should qualify for a Child Trust Fund account.
Children born on or after 1 September 2002 and up to 1 August 2010 received a £250 voucher and children born on or after 2 August 2010 and up to 2 January 2011 received a £50 voucher.
If you have not already done so, you can still open a Child Trust Fund up until the expiry date of the voucher.
- A maximum of £1,200 can be added to the account each year by parents, family or friends.
- The account is tax-efficient as returns are free from income tax and capital gains tax. Please remember tax advantages depend on individual circumstances and may change in the future.
- Payments can be made by Direct Debit, bank transfer, standing order and cheque.
- All the money invested in the account belongs to the child named, and only the child can access it (and only once they are 18).
