ISA Trading Account

Hi, I'm new to buying shares and to this site. I usually invest in funds within an ISA but would now like to buy shares. If I buy shares and their value increases, will I be taxed on the capital growth or is it just any premiums that are texed ? Reason for asking is because I don't know whether to open a standard trading account or an ISA trading account with associated fees.

    Within an ISA your funds/shares are exempt from tax on capital growth but you will still have to pay 10% income tax on any dividends paid out by the shares or funds (taken care of at the source, so you don't actually need to think about doing it or anything!).
