BREAKING: The UK just confirmed a 22% tax on interest earned from cash sitting inside Stocks and Shares ISAs, starting 6 April 2027.

An ISA was supposed to mean one thing: money grows completely tax-free.

A Stocks and Shares ISA holds investments, but people often leave cash sitting inside it too, uninvested, just earning interest, tax-free until now.

Next year, the Cash ISA allowance for under-65s gets cut from £20,000 to £12,000. To stop savers from working around that, HMRC is locking down every option:

- Cash held in a Stocks and Shares ISA now gets taxed 22% on its interest.
- You can no longer move money from a Stocks and Shares ISA into a Cash ISA.
- You can no longer hold an entire non-Cash ISA in cash like funds either.

Example: £40,000 sitting as cash inside a Stocks and Shares ISA earning 4.5% makes £1,800 a year. From April 2027, £396 of that goes straight to HMRC, leaving £1,404.

So the government is taxing a savings habit people have used for 27 years, while building in a higher allowance for one age group only.

PLAYSTATION JUST CONFIRMED IT'S INTENTIONAL

You bought a game. You paid full price.
Go offline 30 days - it locks you out.

Here's the part that should scare you:

→ No public announcement
→ Not mentioned in ToS
→ Primary Console doesn't help
→ Affects ALL purchases after March 2026

PlayStation support called it a "technical measure"

This same studio went on to wait until SEASON FUCKING THREE of their next game to do it again. And if I remember correctly never even brought back tournaments for it…

Nothing worse than getting in an Uber and the driver starts asking you what junctions to come off at and what roads to take..
