Help to Buy ISA
I'm looking to buy a property (for less than £250k) for the first time and have a Help to Buy ISA. I can afford the full purchase price without a mortgage, but have been told that I need to take out a mortgage to be able to claim the 25% bonus on the ISA. Is this right? I can't find any reference to this on the Gov.uk…

Cash ISA savings from yearly income
If I contribute some of my income to a cash ISA will this be deducted before my tax is calculated? I wanted to understand if doing this to take my net income below personal allowance threshold means I would then not pay income tax. Thanks

Is this a correct definition for VUSA vs VUAG?
I have some VUSA shares with IWEB and I notice that the dividends get paid and then IWEB purchase some more shares but I have some stocks where dividends aren't paid but I do see their value increasing e.g. VVLSRU.

Do withholding taxes apply to ETF's such as VUSA?
I've had some shares previously in an american company and became aware of a 15% withholding tax. Now I have some VUSA etf shares inside an ISA, does the 15% withholding tax still get deducted before dividends are paid? and does that change if it's inside an ISA or outside in a general account? Thanks

Plum ISA at 5.17%
The best ISA on the MME website page at the moment is Plum at 5.17%. However I'm wondering if this is really a good idea - looking into the description on the web site, the actual ongoing rate you get paid is 4.29%. Then there is a bonus of 0.88% that you get paid after one year. However, it says that the interest rates…

Plum...Is it just me ?
Eventually got round to setting up a cash ISA as I realised I was going to end up paying a fair bit of tax on one of my savings accounts which was bringing in over £100 a month in interest. Plum seemed the obvious choice but I just can't believe what a guddle it turned out to be. You have to link a current account etc…

Newcastle Single Access ISA - 5%
Is it any good ? Wife fancies opening an account. I notice that the application form doesn't allow one to both transfer in and add new money......it's one or the other, can't tick both boxes. Seems rather strange. I guess they are only structured to do one thing at a time !

Flexi cash to S&S Isa
Looking for advice on whether this is possible. I have £20k to invest now in this years ISA and was going to invest a lump sum now. Over the rest of the tax year I want to use this ISA to drip feed into a S&S ISA. Is this possible? From what I’ve explored it looks like most cash Isas need a linked account and that is the…

Can you have multiple ISAs with Shawbrook?
As title, I can't see anything in their terms that says no. Reason I ask is that I was just wondering - since the ISA rules about how many you can open per year have changed - and how Shawbrook seem to allow deposits through out the term, theoretically could you open say 3 year and 5 year fixes with the minimum deposits…

"Full transfers out for current tax year, partial for previous tax years" meaning
Looking at Plum's cash ISA T&Cs, it says: "Only full transfers-out for the current tax year are
accepted. Partial transfers-out are accepted for previous tax years." What exactly does that mean? Say I open up that ISA now and put in £5k, I assume it means that if I want to transfer some out later this tax year I have to…
