ISA Transfers
By: Victoria Selman
An ISA is a tax free savings account which often has an investment element
whereby those with ISAs can invest up to £7000 a year in stocks and shares tax
free.
Transferring your ISA can enable you to get a better rate of return on your
investment by allowing you to invest in different ISA funds.
The ISA transfer process is completely free of charge but your existing fund
manager might charge you an exit fee if you decide to transfer your ISA.
This article provides an overview of the ISA transfer process to help you decide
whether or not to transfer your ISA
1. What is the Length of the ISA Transfer Process
The process of transferring an ISA usually takes about 4-6 weeks.
2. Do I Have to Transfer All My ISA Funds or Can I Keep Some of My Existing
Funds
If you have a current year ISA then you have to transfer all of your ISA funds.
With other accounts, you can opt to transfer some funds and leave the others
behind.
3. Can I Make Contributions to My ISA Whilst it is Being Transferred
It’s best to make one-off contributions either before you send in your ISA
transfer form or after the transfer process has been completed.
4. Do My Funds Stay in an ISA While I am Transferring Them
Yes.
5. Will I be Liable For Capital Gains Tax if I Transfer My ISA
No.
6. How will an ISA Transfer Affect My Monthly Savings Plan
Once you have received the letter confirming that the ISA transfer process has
been completed, you can set up a new monthly savings plan with the company you
have transferred your ISA to.
7. What will Happen to Any Cash in My Previous Account When I Transfer My ISA
Your previous investment company will send the cash to your new ISA investment
company after the ISA transfer has been completed.
