Transfer from Regular Shares account into ISA

[Guest Kevolution]

Hi

I started a shares account and deposited money and bought some shares. I thought i'd done this within an ISA, but apparently not. 

I have now created an ISA and transferred over my balance, however is there a way to get my shares into the ISA without selling and buying them again (and having to pay the associated fees)

Cheers

No, transferring shares from a standard account into an ISA isn't allowed under current gov. rules. You have to sell and then re-buy in ISA.

The exceptions to this rule are if you have shares in a:

• Save As You Earn (SAYE) scheme
• Share Incentive Plan (SIP)
