    Cash ISA'S Oct 2009 for the over 50's

    Regarding the above subject and the allowance increasing to £5200 , does this mean that in April 2010 someone

    over the age of 50 can take out another £5200 cash isa having taken one out in October 2009 ?

    ISA allowances are fixed by the financial year, so yes, your next ISA allowance year, starting in April 2010, would provide you with the opportunity to invest this amount again.

    Re: Cash ISA'S Oct 2009 for the over 50's

    Could somebody clarify for me about transferring cash ISAs. I have already taken out an ISA for this year although it is a monthly payment type with a very good interest rate. I am over 60 so I understand my allowance will increase from October. This organisation does not accept transfers.

    I have other ISAs which should now be moved because the interest rates are rubbish compared to last year. What do I do if I have contracted with an organisation for this year that does not accept transfers? My thoughts are that as I am paying £300 per month because it was set up before the allowance increased, I will have more money to invest in October but of course at this stage I have only invested £300 per month since April. I suppose another provider would not be interested in my merely transferring old funds but I have to pay in new money which, in theory, I am not allowed to do at this stage for this current year. Can anyone shed any light??

    Many thanks

    skatyp:

    You can transfer previous years money to any provider which accepts transfers. You can transfer in full or in part to multiple providers. Your choice. I think there are plenty happy to have your money.
