What is a General Investment Account?

- The Moneybox General Investment Account lets you invest in thousands of global companies via a range of tracker funds, including a socially responsible option.
- The General Investment Account doesn’t offer tax relief but you only pay tax on gains above £12,300, subject to having no other investments.
What else should I know?
- You can contribute as little as £1.
- Moneybox limits deposits into the GIA to £20,000 a week.
- You must be 18 years or over and a resident in the UK (and not a US citizen).
- Remember, the value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest.
