Stocks & Shares ISA FAQs
There’s no limit to how many ISAs you can have in your lifetime. And, as of 6 April 2024, the ISA rules have changed. You're no longer limited to only being able to pay money into one type of ISA in a tax year (except for Lifetime ISAs and Junior ISAs which are still limited to one).
The main types of ISA are:
- Cash ISAs, which are like regular cash saving accounts, but any interest you earn is tax-free.
- Stocks & Shares ISAs, which allow you to invest your money in the stock market. Any gains on your investments are tax-free.
- Lifetime ISAs (LISAs), which are for saving towards buying your first home or retirement. The government adds a 25% bonus to any money you contribute to a LISA. However, you can only access the money when buying your first home, or when you reach the age of 60.
- Junior ISAs, which are savings accounts a parent or guardian can set up for under 18s. The child can access the money once they turn 18 (when it turns into a regular Cash ISA or Stocks & Shares ISA).
The 2024/25 ISA allowance is £20,000. This is the total amount you can pay across all your ISAs during this tax year.
You can split your allowance between different types of ISA. For example, you could pay into a Cash ISA and a Stocks & Shares ISA in the same tax year. But the total can’t exceed £20,000.
The current tax year runs from 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025.
Yes, you can transfer an ISA and open a new one in the same year. This is because transferring an ISA does not count as opening one. There’s no limit to how many ISAs you can have in your lifetime.
You can transfer a Cash ISA or a Stocks & Shares ISA to us.
You can also transfer a Lifetime ISA. However, you will have to pay a 20% government withdrawal charge.
Make sure you transfer using our online ISA transfer process – either during account opening or by logging in to your account.
If you choose to withdraw and transfer the cash yourself, you will use up additional ISA allowance. The online transfer process ensures this doesn’t happen.
Transfers typically take up to 4 weeks for cash transfers and 6 weeks when transferring investments. Though it can take longer if there are delays from your current provider.
To make it as smooth as possible, we take care of the whole process and keep you up to date with any progress.
