Overseas ISA Investing

ukwhitey

I would be very happy to get some advice and answers at my current confusion about investing.

I'm currently living in Canada on a 12 month temporary work visa which is due to run out at the end of may. I've used my ISA allowance for the past couple of years and as the new tax year has started I'm just a bit confused whether I am able to invest in a new one.

HMRC states you have to be a resident of the UK for tax purposes so I'm just a bit unsure as this makes me ineligible due to paying tax on work done over in Canada.

If I was unable to invest into 2012/2013 until I return to the UK would I still be able to transfers the balance of previous years?


Any help is much appreciated.

As to a transfer - suggest you could ask your Tax Office.
