Paying HL ISA fees

LeadFarmer

I periodically top up my HL account with a few £ to cover the fees on my stocks & shares ISA, the money sits separately from the ISA and fees are paid from this.
However I’ve noticed that any amount I top up with comes off that years ISA allowance.

Is there a way to fund the fees without it affecting my allowance please?

I have a GIA sitting alongside my S&S ISA and the dividends earned in that pay my fees. I make sure that those dividends are, themselves, free of tax by keeping them below £500 p.a.

When I was with HL there was option, somewhere in deep in the menu, to pay the fees by Debit Card and that never went to my annual allowance.

Laterly, I had dividends automatically reinvested and the fees were taken from the cash balance where the dividends were held.

You should select the appropriate setting to have ISA & LISA fees collected from the uninvested cash in your fund and shares account.

Portfolio overview | Account Settings | Fees | Fees Collection | Edit Options | Collect from outside account where possible.
