I couldn't find this answer on the MSE guides.  Am I right in saying you can top up UP TO the the £20,000 limit the next year on an existing ISA. Even if it's maxed out the previous year, or are you supposed to open a new ISA ? 
I only query this cos my Trading 212 account lists shows current tax year allowance £20'000, used £0.00

Thanks

    You can subscribe £20,000 of NEW MONEY every tax year.

    It does not necessarily have to go into a new ISA.

    As the T212 ISA is easy access and variable rate you can add to that, you do not need to open a new account.

    Other ISAs will have differing rules, just read the Ts and Cs.

    Yes, you can deposit 20k per tax year.
    It's only fixed term ISAs where additional deposits are restricted to a short period after they're opened.
