You can transfer shares that have been acquired through one of the following routes directly into an ISA:
-
Sharesave
-
UK Sharepurchase
Shares that you have acquired as a result of these schemes can be transferred directly into an ISA without any Capital Gains liability. The transfer has to be completed within the time permitted by HM Revenue & Customs - 90 days from:
-
the date you exercise your Sharesave option,
-
the date the shares ceased to be subject to the UK Sharepurchase Plan.
