    Yes the rules say  you can only pay into one cash ISA each year, which is what you are proposing to do.

    You can open cash ISAs of any type or duration whenever you like but the important rule is that you can only pay new subscriptions (from the current tax year's allowance) into one cash ISA at any one time.

    So - if you pay subscriptions from the current tax year into a 2 year fixed rate cash ISA now, then yes - you can open another and pay subscriptions from the next tax year into it after 6th April 2024.

    Or indeed you can pay into an existing ISA next year. You don't have to open a new account every year.

    If it was a 2 year fix you entered you may not be able to pay into the same one for year two as it is likely limited, but you could open another ISA in year two (as long as it is a different tax year).

    Well after April you can open & fund as many as you like as long as you stick to the £20k limits

    There is a sub forum just for ISA's where these types of questions are regularly asked and answered, so worth having a look through it.
