Renewing Isa

Options
Hi all,
 I have an ISA which says my declaration has expired......

Your declaration has now expired

As you've not made a deposit (or a transfer containing current year's deposits) into your Online ISA for a full tax year, your declaration has now expired. If you want to make a subscription into your Online ISA, HM Revenue & Customs require us to confirm some details with you before we can reactivate it.

This does not affect your ability to perform a money movement, make withdrawals or transfer your Online ISA.

Please click on the 'Reactivate Online ISA' button below to complete a new declaration. Please ensure your details are up to date before submitting.

Once you've accepted the new declaration, we'll send you a secure message within 24 hours to let you know when you can pay into your Online ISA.


What I need to know is, if I reactive this ISA does this then count as this years allowance or is it still my allowance from the year I took it out , meaning I can open a new ISA with this years allowance somewhere else.

I have tried ringing provider no answer and tried mailing question to them again no reply

Any help would be appreciated.

    You can only pay new money into one ISA of each type in any tax year, so you can either pay into the old one or a new one somewhere else, but not both.  The old one doesn't have any sort of residual allowance associated with it, so anything you pay into it now would be against your 2020/21 allowance.

    I have also had this with a couple of providers. If you go a whole tax year with no additions they require you to reactivate it before you can make any new additions. It seems in this case the providers system is automatically asking you to reactivate , even though you do not want to add any new money .
    It is only an admin issue and reactivating it will have no effect on your ability to open a new  ISA and add to that.
    Also if you do not reactivate nothing will happen either , except you could add new money if you wanted to.

    I think you've omitted 'not' between 'could' & 'add' ;)
