Hello, I'm thinking about getting a Stocks and Share ISA.. but not sure how it really works. I know I can invest £20.000 per tax year, but what happens if: I Open a Stock and Share ISA in 2024 -> with £20.000 Do I need to open another account in 2025? Or can I use the same one and have £40.000?

Hi 

You can open a Stocks & Shares ISA with £20,000 as long as you have not already invested £20,000 in an another ISA, such as a Cash ISA - you can also open a Stocks and Shares ISA in 2025 but again the maximum investment of £20,000 would apply - you cannot carry forward the annual investment limit of £20,000 to the next tax year -  please see the following Guidance - Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)

Thank you

Hi,
The maximum you can invest each year in ISAs is £20,000. 
You can have £20,000 in one account or split the allowance across multiple accounts.  
If you invest £20,000 in the current tax year you will need to wait until the next tax year to invest a further £20,000 in any ISA account. 
It will be dependant on your ISA provider if they allow you to reinvest in the same account each year or not.
