Applied online for ISA before 5th April - not completed yet, does it matter?

Charlieh

Hello there, I apologise if this has been asked many times - I did a quick search online and in the forum here but couldn't find a specific answer.


I have left applying for a new ISA very late this year. Many reasons, (moving house one of them, among others.) Anyhow - I completed an online application for the Tesco 2.3% ISA today. I got to the end and it said they will contact me in the next couple of days if anymore information is needed.

If I have applied for an ISA BEFORE the 5th April deadline, but it isn't completed until afterwards, does it still count as the previous year's?

To quote the Tesco Bank ISA page
"Apply online before the 5 April deadline 2013 deadline to to save this tax year
which sounds like it should be ok...


I just wanted to check with anyone who might know for sure.

Many thanks in advance for any replies,
Charlie
