Can I still make payments to my ISA if I no longer live in the UK?
Updated 23 February 2023
No, you can't usually make any payment to your ISA if you no longer live in the UK.
You have to be resident in the UK for tax purposes to take out an ISA. If you're not, you must either be:
- A Crown employee serving overseas and paid out of public revenue of the UK
- The husband, wife or registered civil partner of a Crown employee.
We can't accept any new money, like regular or lump sum payments, transfers or increases to existing regular payments, unless you're UK tax resident.
In order to determine if you're UK tax resident, please review this guidance from the government.
