When investing, your capital is at risk. Investments can fall and rise and you may get back less than you invested. The information contained within the video was correct at the time of recording but may have since changed.

Thanks I am new to 212 Invest & ISA is of particular interest. Useful information here. Its now to know what exactly I can trade into an ISA account including use of PIES.

[@OH2023-cj9if]

You can also open multiple ISAs in the same tax year if it is only used for transferring and not adding anything.

[@OH2023-cj9if]

Not all providers accept transfers from different types of ISA.

Does a UK Stocks ISA protect me from taxes on USA based stocks?

[@Trading212]

ISA investments and any capital gains generated on them are exempt from taxes. As for dividends tax, it is charged by the company's country of domicile and applies to dividends received in an ISA.

What I if open an Isa put in 20k and leave it there. Can I still use it when I am not a Uk resident anymore? No topping up obviously.

[@Trading212]

Yes, you can continue using your ISA account funds if you're no longer in the UK. However, any potential gains might be subject to tax laws of the country you reside in.

[@kevinisawake]

[@_TheVAX_]

If I want to transfer my full pot of 100k accumulated over the years on my current Isa to a new Isa… will that keep being tax free even if I’m adding more than 20k to a new Isa in that tax year? I guess yes right? Since I’m not really adding, just transferring.

[@Trading212]

You're right. Transfers do not affect the yearly allowance.

[@user-qd7zp2st4e]

You u

[@bossmen6665]

[@efootballempire3468]

Can I open a lifetime ISA on trading 212?

[@Trading212]

Offering LISAs is not in our short/mid-term plans. We'll let you know if there are any updates.

[@mort1122]

Nice video, if I make 40k profit in my trading 212 isa account and kept reinvesting the profit but not taking it out of the isa account is it all covered by the isa tax wrapper?

[@MegaScooter500]

Is today the last day to make deposits for this tax year

[@Trading212]

In case you're referring to an ISA deposit - yes. You can add to your ISA for the 2022/2023 tax year until 23 : 59 on the 5th of April. Keep in mind that deposits made via certain payment methods may take longer to reflect in your ISA. Depending on when your deposit enters your Trading 212, it might count towards your 2023/2024 allowance.
