Stocks and Shares ISA Tax

Options
Hi

With an Investment ISA, is there ever any tax to pay when selling the shares in the future (e.g. capital gains, or income tax, or anything else)?

Is there any upper limit on the value of the ISA?

Thanks

    The above post answers concisely and accurately but a couple of additional points:

    A recent poster on here mistakenly thought that ISA contents would be exempt from inheritance tax on the death of the ISA holder but they're not.

    And while there is no upper limit on value, there is of course an upper limit on contributions (currently £20K per tax year) - many years of contributions and growth will result in some pretty substantial pots, hence the reported existence of 'ISA millionaires'.
