What to do with my Shares Certificate?

2ton

Hi,
I have 789 company shares from a ShareSave scheme. I have the option to cash them in but I'd rather hang onto them. I can transfer them to a Global Employee Share Account or I can receive a share certificate.

I'd like to get the certificate and put them in an ISA. All the information I've read around Stocks and Shares ISA's assume I'll be using it to buy and sell shares rather than just stick my certificate in.

Can someone point me in the direction of some good advice?

Thanks

I'd forget about getting the shares literally in certificate form and would expect that you can transfer electronically directly into a S&S ISA - your employer should provide information on how to do this.

As per https://www.gov.uk/tax-employee-share-schemes/transferring-your-shares-to-an-isa, this has to be done within 90 days.
