... seperate service providers when transfering it? Thks in advance Philip
Sorry G-Man if I confused you? the previous years investment was a cash ISA,so I wondered if I could halve the investment and split the transfer to one of each, and still invest the allowance this year in which ever?
Hi G-Man thanks for all your Knowledgeable replies, great info, many thanks, regards Philip
The ISA rule states that previous years contributions can be partly transferred, but current years must be transferred in full.
So if your current years contribution is ?5000 or less, or the ?10000 is from previous years, you can do this.
What I am not sure is why you want to split this between 2 providers? Wouldn't it be easier to keep it together for easier management?
Hi,
I'm afraid you can only transform a cash ISA into an investment ISA, not vice-versa, so I'd suggest opening a cash ISA and an investment ISA this year and leaving your investment ISA from previous years as it is.
Hi,
Yep, you can transfer previous tax year's ISAs into as many ISAs as you want.
I generally say that the maximum number of cash ISAs a person can have is:
?Value of previous tax years' ISAs + 1 (the 1 being the current tax year).
And you can transfer as much of your cash ISA into an investment ISA as you want, if you so wish (though not vice versa).
