Emma's Diary Grandchild Flexible Plan

Grandchild Flexible Investment Plan

Tax-free grandchild investment

Tax free investing for your grandkids

With Grandchild Flexible Plan you make tax-free savings and investments for your grandchild to give them something to help them live their future dreams. You invest for a maximum 18 years but flexibility is built in so there is the option for your grandchild to take the money out earlier if they need to. The table below provides a brief summary of the plan. For more information on Grandchild Flexible Plan please visit the in detail tab.

Invest up to £25 a month tax-free for a grandchild under 16.
i At a glance i Things you should consider
  • Help your grandchild by investing from £15 to £25 per month and using their tax-free savings allowance for a maximum of 18 years.
  • Potential returns from the UK stock market are designed to outperform a cash investment over the long term.
  • Your money will be invested in our UK Tracker Fund which features leading UK companies like Tesco, BSkyB and BT.
  • Flexibility is built in, allowing the plan to be cashed in early.
  • A small amount of life cover for the child is automatically included as a condition of the tax benefits.
  • Stock market investments can go down as well as up and the child could get back less than you have paid in.
  • If you cash in the plan before 10 years the grandchild may have a tax charge to pay.
  • The plan is the property of the grandchild and not the parents or the grandparents.
  • The cost of life cover is included as a small part of the plan’s charges.
  • Take out a Grandchild Flexible Plan for a grandchild currently aged under 16 and who is a UK resident.
i Tax information
  • Tax-free means the fund the child's plan invests in grows free of income and capital gains tax (other than tax on dividends from UK shares).
  • Tax treatment depends on the child's individual circumstances and tax law may change in the future.
  • Only a total of £3,600 can be invested each year in a qualifying endowment life policy including up to £25 a month in a tax-exempt savings plan.
