Anything I'm missing before transferring my ISA?
I transferred in to a Moneybox Cash ISA last year and have been using as much of my allowance as possible. As the interest rate has been dropping and the bonus rate will disappear, I'm looking to move it to Trading 212's Cash ISA. Presumably I can initiate this switch now and don't have to wait until the new tax year? I…

Gone over my ISA allowance!
Hi All First post here - hope you are able to help me! In November 2024, I invested £20,000 into a Cash ISA. I also pay a regular £150 per month into a stocks and shares fund. But I had forgotten that I set this up as an ISA too in 2023. I think therefore that I have overpaid into my ISAs by £1800 for this tax year (12…

Making lifetime ISA deposits while working abroad as a UK worker
I'm currently abroad for work. I've not spent much time in the UK since Nov 2023, just a week here and there. According to my HR department, I'm a UK worker who is posted abroad on a temporary contract, and a UK resident for tax purposes. Can I pay into my lifetime ISA?

T212 isa transfer out
Is it just me or is this an absolute nightmare trying to achieve? Just opened a Chip isa to get the bonus for 3 months, they want account number and sort code. T212 say they don't have a sort code! Meanwhile, Chip response time to my message is a day. Not good when the bonus clock is already ticking.

Junior ISA Limits
The answer will have been given before I am sure. I know that you can contribute up to £9,000 each tax year into a Junior ISA. Is this limit per child or the total limit ? So 3 children @ £3000 each = £9000 Or 3 children @ £9000 each = £27000 TIA

How to find out where the Interest is coming from they want to tax
Hi I've had two coding notices and I'm confused. They have estimated how much interest this year and next year and adjusted my code, but my savings are in ISAs. I can't seem to find where they have the information from as, as far as I know (and I review my savings each January) I have no hidden pots I don't know about - I…

Maturity Option
Hi, Cash ISA advice, please! I have selected a maturity option with Paragon bank of 4.3% (it renews in April in the new tax year). I have up until two days before maturity to change. It only allows me to change to another account I'd have to open with them. I've seen better rates with Shawbrook, so now looking to transfer…

What legal implications are there
My mother was recently widowed and sold upher home to move into a smaller place. This has left her with a lump sum. She was "advised" by someone close to divide the money up and get her offspring to open ISA accounts in their own names and put the money into them. This way if she was to go into a care home in the future…

How do you feel about giving national insurance number?
Hi, I recently saw the article about Trading 212 offer of £40 worth of shares. I downloaded the app but it’s asking for my national insurance number. My concern here is data breaches etc and more of my personal details getting into the wrong hands. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

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…

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…
