ISAs & tax-free savings

I deposited £4500 into a chip Isa on 6th April 2025. Then I transferred £20k from another ISA to this ISA as well. It's a flexible ISA. I withdrew the lot as I got better interest elsewhere and I wouldn't have had enough interest to be over the £1k limit by doing this. I'm a low earner just earning £17400. I wanted to…

Good very recent podcast. Understand that HTB ISA must be used by 2029 (or 2030?) What though if one wants to transfer money from HTB to Lifetime ISA. Can it all be done at once; or has it to be done bit by bit within the £4k annual limit to pay into Lifetime?? And if within that £4k limit, then | assume that any transfer…

Hello, I am so muddled up about Isa 1. I have a cash Isa that will mature in July 2025. Can I open a new cash Isa at the beginning of new financial Year which is on 6 April 2025 or do I have to wait to open my new cash Isa until my last year cash Isa matures which is in July 2025. 2.I am entitled personal saving allowance…

Hi I have a bunch of shares I have built up over the years through various means. Some were via company share save schemes, some I just bought and so on. Also due to corporate actions, some have split, been moved to other markets (AIM?) and in one case, even ended up being traded on the US stock markets after the company…

I am trying to open a new cash ISA with T212 ready to fund it with funds from the 6th April. I have started the opening process through the link but have now got to the point where it wants me to fund it so I have shut it down. When I was digging around it was just showing the rate of 3.6% but when I tried to add the promo…

Hello I have a maturing Cash ISA which I’ve arranged to be paid into my bank as the transfer rates weren’t as good as a new ISA. If I pay this into another provider, a new Cash ISA before April 5th, is this still counted as my 2025-26 allowance or will this be my next tax years allowance? Thanks in advance.

Hi basic question, i am new to the world of Isa's and i am after some advice. Last year i opened 2 isa's one with marcus £15k and one with kroo £5k so what should i do with this year's comiing allowance should i deposit into each of them and make them 20k each, or should i open another isa with someone else for the sum of…

I have a Zopa ISA maturing early April. I have initiated a transfer asking for it to be made on maturity. It has been rejected and on speaking to them I've been told I have to wait until the maturity to give the instruction or pay a breakage charge. I have never experienced this before I told the agent it was not normal…

Currently have 0 in my ISA if I top up my ISA to 20k before 5th April 2026, does this mean I get an additional tax free 20k allowance next year ie I can invest 40k in my ISA tax free starting from 6th April 2026 and all the interest on the 40k will be tax free for the financial year 2026-2027

I opened an Easy Access ISA this financial year with Kent Reliance and put £20,000 in it. Now I tried to transfer it to a new Aldermore Easy Access ISA and Kent are refusing the transfer saying that with the accrued interest it's too much to transfer. They say I'm only allowed to transfer £20,000. Does this make any sense?…

Hi All. I need some guidance/knowledge on inter year ISA transfers please. I have never had enough savings that would put me over the £1000 tax free personal savings allowance. However this will change next year when i expect a decent amount that will change this. I propose to put roughly 15k into a flexible cash ISA…

Just a warning for anyone opening a cash ISA with Trading 212. If you don’t deposit any funds within 10 days of opening the account then you lose the promotional rate. I didn’t spot that anywhere obvious (I may have missed it) but it’s in their terms and conditions…to which they will point you when you query it. They…

Hi. I was on Youtube and saw and for YBS so I clicked on it and it led to a page about the Four Access eISA. Here is the link though I don't know what you will see as it originated from an ad:…

Moneyfactscompare stating 'Bonus rate not applicable if transferring in' which is not reflected in MSE , and not obvious on Moneybox ISA page. Can anyone shed some light ?

Hi, Can I please check if money withdrawn from this year's ISA subscription in a flexible ISA still contributes to the £20k cap? I have a flexible Zopa ISA, funded this tax year. I also have a Plum ISA (non-flexible). At the start of the tax year I put £5k in Zopa, and have also funded £15k to the Plum ISA (so total £20k,…

I have a fixed rate ISA ending in a week. With all the uncertainty in the world I'm loathe to enter into another fixed term at this moment so would prefer an easy access account until the dust settles shall we say. Obviously I want the highest rate possible,but many don't allow transfers in or if they do the rate is…

If I out £20K in the above ISA today, then another £20K in the same ISA on 1st April, would I have to wait until 31st March 2028 to withdraw the whole lot (including tax free interest) to make the most of my investment. The rate is fixed at 4.05%.

Why does it take up to two weeks to transfer Cash ISAs from one provider to another. So far it has taken several days for Flagstone to even provide Trading 212 with the relevant details. I reckon chasing after another 1% is going to take up to two weeks.

Just a couple of quick questions if anyone can help please. Firstly I have an ISA with a low rate that runs til July. I lose the interest if I withdraw from this ISA. Firstly when it runs out it puts me on an even lower rate. If it does this will that use up my allowance for the new year when it moves it? Secondly after…
