They [your ISA provider] should just return any extra money you attempt to pay in. If you transfer internally, from another account you hold with them, I'd guess they will transfer the payment back and tell you, but if you give them a cheque that takes your current year's subscription above £3000 their system ought to spot this if they try and key-in any amount. In that case you would be told at the branch.
What ISA do you have, and are you certain of how much you have paid into it since 6th April this year? [Note, that the limit is not on your balance, but on how much you can pay-in annually].....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam0 -
Thank you, shaun and Milarky
I have been wondering the answer to this question myself, and now I know ;D

Send the extra to me, and I'll make sure you never have to worry about it again.
I have five stars! This doesn't mean that I know anything about any of the things I post. I could be a raving lunatic, or a brilliant genius, or just some guy on the internet. In fact, I could be all three at the same time.
If anything I say makes sense, then do it. If not, don't. Don't blame me or my stars if you do something stupid because I suggested it. I'm responsible for my own stupidity only. You are responsible for yours.
Why, I don't even have five stars anymore! Aren't you glad you aren't responsible for my stupidity?0 -
Last week I overpaid (by 2 PENCE!) into my Abbey ISA and they returned the payment.
However, I know that I'm a couple of pounds over on an ISA from 02/03 and the provider told me that it was my responsibility if the Inland Revenue found out (ie it's me they'd fine, not the provider).
Hope this helps!Mark Hughes' blue and white army0 -
does the £3000.00 limit include the interest i get payed in because i have it put in the same account?0
-
Nope - the £3000 is the cash you put in between April one year and March the next. Remember - you can only put in £3000 (Mini cash ISA) so avoid withdrawing any during the year, as this still counts towards your £3000 limit.
I'd get the interest paid into the account as this then earns the same rate as your £3000 cash.
Clear as mud!Mark Hughes' blue and white army0
