HM Treasury consulted on implementation of this measure between 17 October and 12 December 2014. HM Treasury’s response to this consultation, confirming that peer-to-peer loans would be eligible for a new type of ISA (the Innovative Finance ISA), was published at Summer Budget 2015.
Draft legislation and further guidance for this measure has also been published.
