So lets say I choose to invest my ISA allowance in Shares and Funds for 2013, and put £11,000 into the Joe Blogg’s Fund.
The fund performs very well and by the end of 2013 my investment is worth £15,000. This £5,000 is tax free.
In 2014, I decide to open a different ISA and invest a different £11,000 into a shares and funds ISA, investing in the Jeff Logs Fund.
The fund performs well also and by the end of 2014 this investment is worth £16,000. This £6000 is tax free.
But meanwhile…my Joe Bloggs Fund which was bought in 2013, has risen to £21,000. Is this £6000 gain now tax free…is my tax free investment for the life of the ISA or the life of the investment or what?!?
Because otherwise I could assume that in a period of 10 years, you could have 10 different investments bringing in tax free amounts of money…none of which were taxable?
Eugh i find this stuff very confusing.
