If a withdrawal reduces the balance to less than the minimum balance per account of £1, we may close your account by giving 30 days’ notice. Closure of your Cash ISA account is permitted at any time without notice. If you close your Cash ISA account, it cannot be reinstated.
Flexible ISA: Withdrawals from your account can be re-deposited during the same tax year without counting towards your annual ISA subscription limits. Interest paid out to another account during the tax year is classed as a withdrawal and can be re-deposited during the same tax year without it counting towards the subscription limit. Withdrawals are deemed to be firstly of current years subscriptions, and secondly of previous years funds. Replacement deposits are deemed to be firstly of previous years funds and secondly of current year subscriptions. Replacement of flexible ISA previous year funds must be made to the account from which the withdrawal was made, and in the same tax year. Any money withdrawn and not replaced within the same tax year cannot be paid back in without it counting towards your annual ISA allowance. 5. Interest: Interest is variable and calculated on a daily basis on the balance in the account. Provided the account complies with the ‘Regulations’ all interest arising will be free of UK taxation. The taxation of ISAs can be changed at any time without notice. Interest will be credited to the account following the close of business on March 31st annually. An annual statement will be sent on March 31st. 6. ISA Transfers Out: On your instruction your ISA, or part of your ISA, can be transferred to another Society Cash ISA or another ISA manager in accordance with the ISA Regulations relating to transfers. You may transfer your current year’s Cash ISA subscriptions in whole or part to another Cash ISA with the Society or another ISA manager subject to the appropriate notice period. Where you transfer your current year subscriptions in whole or part from one type of ISA to another, the subscriptions amount transferred are treated as if they were made to the receiving ISA manager. For example, if your current year’s Cash ISA subscriptions are transferred to a stocks and shares ISA, they are treated as if they were made to the stocks and shares ISA so you are able to subscribe to a Cash ISA following the transfer – subject to the annual subscription limit. You may transfer any previous tax year’s subscriptions in whole or in part to a Cash ISA or another type of ISA held with another ISA manager, without it affecting your annual ISA investment allowance for the current tax year. Partial withdrawals from this Cash ISA are permitted. Cash ISA to Cash ISA transfers must take place within 15 business days of the transfer instruction being received by the new ISA manager.
