Do all Stocks ISA's accept SAYE shares?

Jint

I can see Halifax does but do all providers? And if I were to sell the shares once they'd been put in the ISA, and used the money to buy new shares, would the new shares still be CGT free? It's all very confusing so any help would be greatly appreciated x

As far as I know, all ISA providers accept SAYE shares. Obviously you will have to check in advance when you request the SAYE form from your ISA provider anyway.

If you sell the shares in an ISA and you retain the proceeds within the ISA wrapper that cash is still tax free as long as it stays within the ISA, including if you use the cash to buy different shares.

All providers? - probably not, as some only offer funds.

Most providers who allow investment in shares, would probably accept a transfer from SAYE. Choose a provider, based on the usual criteria of fees and services, then check their website for their SAYE process.

Your employer may try to steer you towards Halifax and make the transfer simple, but Halifax might not be the cheapest.

Thank you! The only reason I mention Halifax is that they say on their site they take them. Most don't but that's really helpful. Thank you xx
