Clarification on ISA Accumulate Balance Limit

Dear HMRC Admin Team, I am writing to seek clarification regarding the Individual Savings Account (ISA) accumulate balance limit. I understand that there is no limit to the total amount of money that can be held within an ISA. However, I would like to confirm if there is a limit on the total cumulative balance that can be accumulated over multiple tax years. To illustrate my query, please consider the following scenario: Year 1: I contribute the maximum annual allowance of £20,000 to my ISA. Year 2: I continue to contribute the maximum annual allowance of £20,000. In this scenario, my total ISA balance at the end of Year 2 would be £40,000. 1. Is there a restriction on the total cumulative balance that can be held within an ISA over multiple tax years? 2. Additionally, I would like to know if it is necessary to withdraw the entire ISA balance and re-open a new ISA every year to avoid any potential limitations on the cumulative balance. Thank you for your time and assistance in clarifying this matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely,

Dear HMRC Admin, Thank you for your prompt response and for directing me to the ISA guidance. I have reviewed the guidance, but I would like to seek further clarification on a specific point: Accumulated ISA Balance Limit 1. Can I continue to add money to my Cash ISA each year, as long as the annual contribution does not exceed the ISA allowance (currently £20,000)? 2. Is there a limit on the total accumulated balance that can be held within an ISA over multiple years? I would be grateful if you could provide a concise answer to this query. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely,

Hi,
There is no limit to the amount of accumulated value held in an ISA, just the limit of a maximum deposit of £20,000 per year.  You should discuss this with your ISA provider.
Thank you.
