What is an ISA?

I get loads of questions from viewers about ISAs, so this first video takes things back to the start: what is an ISA - aka the Individual Savings Account?
I look at the basic rules and the five main types of ISA , plus an extra variation!

    Hey, I'm guessing it's beneficial to add to an existing isa in the next tax year for compound interest reasons rather than starting a new one on a new platofrm?

    also is there ever a point where the earnings are locked? Or does it just go up and down - I mean like and the end of the tax year does it just keep fluctuating - how do you kjnow wgat you % increase/decrease is

    Thanks Andy. One question in regards year allowance. If I would put full £20k in 2 year fix, can I put another £20k after a year on another ISA or the 2 year fix will not allow me to do it?

    Hi Andy, i am new to ISA’s and I opened a cash ISA with 20k at Santander in March just before this years cut off date. I then added another 20k after 7th April to max out last years and this years allowances. So I have 40k in this account, will I be getting interest on the 40k that’s in their this year? Also when it comes around to next years allowance can I put in another 20k in April 24 and have 60k in total and get interest on 60k if it remains in there for following financial year?

    I'm guessing this is an easy access account. Yes, you will receive interest on the full amount tax free. Just add the extra funds from 6th April '24, as that's when the new financial year begins and you can add another £20k 😊😊

    I had a cash isa with nationwide, at 4.25%, with the full allowance of 20k, i transferred to Barclays isa at 5.25%, when the transfer completed i had £20,175.06 balance, i assume the £175.06 is interest earned from nationwide, question is, will i get taxed on that £175.06?

    No. It never really 'came out' of the ISA pipeline. Unless of course you decided - for some inexplicable reason - to not use the ISA switching service and just did the transfer manually yourself.

    What confuses me is if you did manage £20000 in 1st year and then toped up £20000 the next year topped it up for say 5 years so by then its £100000 is that posable or does the isa close end of tax year gives you all the money then you start clean again next year

    Wondering who polices the 20k total ISA contribution per year? £4k LISA and £16 S&S ISA. What happens if you put say £18k in S&S by mistake due to direct debit gone over the limit by mistake just 1 yr? 👀 Vaguely remember LISA asked for NI details but cannot recall with S&S ISA. Is it like the triple crown 👑 switch with NatWest/RBS/Ulster bank switch incentive that you can push the boat out a bit 😂 Curious to know the consequences! 😱
