Bed & ISA
Bed and ISA transactions allow you to sell existing investments and use the proceeds to open or top up an ISA account. You can then buy the same investments back, choose other investments or simply hold the cash within your ISA.
IMPORTANT - During Covid many providers have suspended this service.

"Capital Gains Tax with a Bed and ISA
When you sell your investments to begin your Bed and ISA transaction you may have to pay Capital Gains Tax if your gains for the current year exceed the annual allowance you make a loss, this could offset any other capital gains you have made this year or in the future."

In 2020-21, this allowance will increase to £12,300.
