Community Meetup - 8 PM Wed 12th May 2021, live on Zoom

A personal problem, but possibly shared by others.

There’s a strong chance I might have to relocate abroad in the future and I’d like to preserve the tax-free status of my previous ISA allowances, but under FT’s rules I’d currently have to close my ISA or sell all my shares and transfer the cash to another provider who allows me to keep an ISA dormant while out of the country. If I have to go to the effort to transfer my ISA away from FT for this reason, I’d imagine momentum would make it unlikely for me to go to the effort in reverse when I returned.

Are there any plans to support dormant accounts for people who are temporarily not tax-resident. and if there are no plans what are the hurdles that prevent this?
