Transferring-In

Can someone explain what this actually means as I dont see a defiitiion on any of Martin's articles. If you transfer your ISA from one year to another does this mean your balance is cumultative ie move £3600 from last years A&L ISA to this years Halifax ISA means Halifax will allow you to lodge £3600 AND pay interest on both it and the transfer?

I.e. pay interest on £7200 for year 09-10?

    If you transfer 2 different years ISA balances together plus any accrued interest then yes the interest is paid on the 2 years contributions and the interest earned.

    eg 2008/9 contribution £3,600 plus £150 interest earned transferred to new ISA provider and pay in 2009/10 contribution of £3,600 = you would earn interest on £7,350. interest earned doesn't count as you contribution.
