Transfer rules on stocks and shares mini isa's

hansi

Could someone put me right on the transfer ruling on share mini isa's. I have the maximum (4k) invested in a unit trust within an ISA for the 2005/06 tax year. I know these are medium to long term investments but if I want to change it, do I just request repayment or is it like cash isa's where you do not withdraw, you ask the bank to transer it in order not to lose tax advantages. I guess that as we are now in a new tax year there shouldn't be a problem either way?

if its a fund switch, these normally occur within 24 hours of the receipt of instruction (normally the next dealing date after receipt).

If its a re-registration, then you are not out of market at any point and the new provider has a re-registration form

If its a transfer, the new provider will have a transfer form.
