New Money & Transfers

Maturing ISA
Hello I have a maturing Cash ISA which I’ve arranged to be paid into my bank as the transfer rates weren’t as good as a new ISA. If I pay this into another provider, a new Cash ISA before April 5th, is this still counted as my 2025-26 allowance or will this be my next tax years allowance? Thanks in advance.
