If Cash ISAs are ended by Government.
As an example, if I am not working or eligible for state pension yet, and earning £5k per annum from private pensions, could I transfer the money from my cash ISAs into a standard interest rate account, and earn £13,570 per annum without paying any tax? From what I have read I believe this is the case.

I've read on some posts that ZOPA chat is useless. Just wanted to say that I've found TRADING 212 chat to be brilliant. They keep your chat active until you decide to close it ( can be days) and take great pains to answer your query to which you can request further info.

Transfer into help to buy ISA
I think I know the answer to this but I thought I’d check what people thought. I have saved £12k in a cash ISA hoping I could transfer this into my help to buy ISA but it looks like I can’t do this. The govt. has put limits on how much you can pay in, and can only transfer up to £1,200k in the first month. Is this right? I…
