Compare investment ISA transfers
If you have a cash ISA, you can transfer into another cash ISA or can move your cash ISA into an investment ISA. You cannot transfer from investment ISAs to cash ISAs.
With investment ISAs the risk is higher, but the potential for income and growth is higher too.
With most investment ISA providers, transfers are allowed and there is no charge for transferring. However, this may not apply to all ISAs so details of any product should be checked before trying to proceed with a transfer.
You can transfer all or part of previous years' ISA subscriptions, while if only the current tax year 's subsrcription is being transferred then the full amount will need to be tansferred to the new provider.
If you have a cash ISA and have decided to make an investment ISA transfer, the current year's subscriptions will be treated as though they had always been part of an investment ISA.
For tax purposes, this means you will be treated as never having subscribed to a cash ISA, leaving you free to subscribe to a cash ISA in the same tax year, as long as you are within the total ISA allowance.
