SAYE tax free options

trickydicky4321

Hi,
I have a SAYE plan which is due to mature.  At current share price it's worth £25,000 of which £13,000 is profit, so liable to CGT.  I'd like to put this money into my pension.

According to the government website, the 2 ways to not pay CGT on this money is to pay direct into a pension or pay into a Stock & Shares ISA.  My pension only accepts cash payments, so I can't transfer the money directly into there.  It appears my only option is to transfer into an ISA.  My question is, can I transfer the shares into an ISA then immediately take the money out & not pay CGT?  If not, is there a minimum period they need to be in an ISA before I withdraw and pay into my pension?

Thanks in advance for advice.

may help..
I think for the Equiniti thing to work the money needs to come out of the ISA speedily but have a read of what they say.
