ISA season 2017/18 - FAQs

Recommended Posts

I have a stocks & shares ISA account with an open provider, can I open one with IG?

You can only pay into one stocks & shares ISA in each tax year.  So, if you have one from the 2016/17 tax year with another provider, you'll be able to open one with us for the 2017/18 tax year.

 

Is stamp duty payable in an ISA account?

UK stamp duty is still payable on the purchase of certain UK shares within the ISA account, and is 0.5% of the consideration (excluding AIM shares).  Irish stamp duty also applies, levied at 1%.

 

I have un-invested cash in my ISA from a previous tax year, can I use the funds to purchase shares?

You're able to use any funds in an ISA to purchase shares, regardless of what tax year the funds were deposited.  However, if you haven't used up your full allowance in a given tax year then you cannot combine this with your new subscription limit - any unused allowance will be lost and cannot be rolled over.

 

Can I split my allowance between a cash ISA and a stocks & shares ISA?

Yes, as long as you don't exceed your allowance (£20,000 for 2017/18)!

 

Can I withdraw my funds from my ISA account and then put some back?

Yes, with the introduction of the flexible ISA you can make unlimited withdrawals from your ISA and then 'top up' the balance without using up more allowance.  For example, if you had £10,000 in a 2015/16 ISA and then withdrew it in the 2016/17 tax year, you would then be able to add £25,240 (£10,000 2015/16 + full £15,240 allowance 2016/17) until 5 April 2017.  Be aware that if you do not replace the funds then you can't roll them into the next tax year, and any withdrawn allowance will be lost.

 

Please do post any more questions here!

 

Thanks,

Hannah

Hi Hannah,

 

Can you answer some questions for me please:

 

1) Is there a Bed & ISA service where you can request shares held in an IG share dealing account to be transferred (sold and re-purchased) within the ISA?

 

2) Is there a dividend reinvestment programme? If so, what are the charges?

 

3) With regard to the current rewards offer for transferring shares or an ISA from other brokers to IG, are the rewards calculated per account? i.e. a separate reward amount for transfers to a share dealing account plus a separate reward amount for ISA transfers (based on different the reward bands in the offer) or are all transfers-in added together to arrive at the reward amount for the aggregate amount transferred?

 

Also is there currently a time limit on this offer?

 

4) Lastly, I understand there are no fees for transferring shares out from either the IG share dealing account or IG ISA, but as such are there account closure fees for either?

 

Thanks

 

TCA

    • It’s interesting to see the excitement building around Legend of Arcadia, especially now that $ARCA is live on major CEXs with bullish momentum. The recent buzz could very well be tied to the bullish price upon listing and events like PoolX and CandyBomb on exchanges like Bitget, which usually bring more visibility and engagement. It’ll be worth watching to see if this momentum leads to wider GameFi adoption or if it’s just pre-launch hype.
    • In times of inflation, it's clear that traditional savings can lose value quickly, so looking for ways to protect or even grow your money becomes important. A lot of people naturally think of investing in assets like commodities or stocks, which are popular options, but there are other approaches that can help as well. One option is to explore side gigs or freelance work, where you can make money now rather than waiting for long-term investments to pay off. With inflation affecting costs, it can be helpful to have multiple streams of income.
    • Seems Bitget strategic partnership with Ton ecosystem is paying off as Bitget Wallet Lite mini, hits more than 6 million users in 3 days. On Oct. 31, the exchange announced the official launch of Bitget Wallet Lite, a multichain wallet integrated into Telegram, allowing users to buy, store and send crypto within the app. Few months ago, the exchange launches $20M TON ecosystem fund and also TON network secures $30M investment from Bitget and Foresight Ventures, this led the wallet to surpass Metamask in adoption rate. Some users have shown preference to the wallet as compared to Okx and Binance wallet, could it be the friendly nature or ease to connect Ton project? A recent study shows that the wallet impressive growth cut across emerging markets like Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East, could it be the surge in Ton project that is responsible for this feat? The study also claims that the wallet support for over 100 blockchains, and a wide array of DApps, makes the wallet appealing to a global audience. It further claimed that the wallet support for DEX trading, including features like zero gas fees in certain transactions and instant trading modes could be responsible for the surge in users. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitget-wallet-telegram-6-million-users-three-days
