Anyone with an online Yorkshire Building Society account able to explain this:
I opened an ‘Internet Saver Plus Issue 10’, instead, what
was opened is an ‘Internet Saver ISA Plus Issue 10’. That issue has now been
resolved.
However, I already have an ISA which was paid into during the
2021/22 tax year, so now I have a second ISA which received £10 in the same tax
year.
I’ve requested the YBS account to be closed, but unsure what
to do regarding two ISA’s both receiving funds in the same tax year.
You should make it clear to them that you're exercising your right to cancel within the initial 14 day cooling-off period, rather than simply closing it - the former route basically reverses the whole thing as if it never happened, thereby tidying everything up without breaching any rules, so nothing to interest HMRC at all:
Right to cancel ISA accounts
If you open a Cash ISA and then change your mind within 14 days, you
may cancel your subscription and we will give you your money back
with any interest it has earned. We will not apply any notice period
or charge. You can then open another ISA in the same tax year if you
wish. If you wish to cancel your Cash ISA subscription within the 14 day
time period, please call into your nearest branch or write to Yorkshire
Building Society, Yorkshire House, Yorkshire Drive, Bradford, BD5 8LJ.
