Chip cash ISA ban after transferring out !
Hi Everybody I’ve just transferred my Chip Cash ISA to Trading 212 and have received an email from Chip acknowledging the transfer request which also bans me from investing in a Chip Cash ISA in the future. Can they do this ? Seems like a pretty juvenile response !

What happens to ISA Allowance if you spend some of the capital?
I have some savings that I need to spend in April 25 (in new tax year) about £4000.

SIPP to ISA - tax free income.
I have recently turned 55 and can therefore access my pension ( SIPP ). I am thinking of taking out tax free lump sums and paying them into my ISA. My reasoning is that I can have exactly the same investments in my ISA and SIPP but once over the tax threshold I'd pay tax on income from SIPP but not from ISA. I am aware of…

Help sorting out ISAs - What Do I Do Now?
I opened an ISA with Halifax many years ago and forgot about it. Right now it shows as an ISA Saver account with £1100 in it and earning interest at 1.1%.

When do banks inform HMRC you have an ISA?
Both myself and my wife took out a second ISA with the Co-Op bank in the same tax year (neither of us going over the £20k limit when you add up each of our two ISAs). I didn't realise that the Co-Op (maybe other banks as well) do not allow you to make multiple payments into an ISA fund in a single tax year unless they are…

ISA - Lower interest rate after 1 year?
The 1 year fixed rate cash ISA with Lloyds has an interest rate of 4.25% AER. However, they say that after 1 year, the ISA changes to a Instant Cash ISA with an interest rate of 1.10% AER. Does this mean that after 1 year, its not possible to get a higher interest rate with an ISA than 1.10% AER?

Confused about ISA maturity and transfer
I have a 1-year fixed ISA with one provider which is maturing in a few weeks' time. I want to open a new ISA with a different provider and transfer the money in. I understand the general principle to transfer this ISA to a new provider is to apply to open an ISA with the new provider, and fill out a form where they will…

Paying into Lifetime ISA from my SIPP
I have recently retired and I am drawing income from my SIPP. Can I set up a Lifetime ISA for my son from that income. Or is that viewed in the same way as you can't pay pension into another pension? Presumably because it is getting double tax relief, or am I OK to set up the Lifetime ISA? Does anyone already do this?

Topping up Cash Isas
I have several ISAs from the past few years, with £20k in each. I might need the cash for a short period in the next tax year, can I withdraw the cash from each of them without closing the accounts and then top them back to £20k before the end of the tax year?

Can it be in the same tax year? How many Cash ISA's can somebody hold in total? I've tried researching but have not got a definitive answer, in fact,…
