    I have got 2444 NGRID shares. How do I transfer the shares to an ISA?

    30 January 2023

    Question by Julie

    I have got 2444 NGRID shares but not held within a ISA wrapper. I know in April the income tax will have to be paid if you receive more than £1000 in dividends per year. How do I transfer the shares to an ISA? I have not paid any money into an ISA for the 2022/23 Tax Year.

    Hi Julie

    You can move the shares into an ISA. Essentially you will need to sell and rebuy the shares. As the allowance is £20,000 each year, you can move £20,000 this tax year, (before April 4) and the rest in the following tax year(s).

    Don't forget though, that if you have made a profit on the shares in excess of the annual allowance of £12,300, you will have to pay capital gains tax.

    I hope this helps.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
