    If you’ve contributed more than the £20,000 ISA allowance in the current tax year (2025/26), it’s important to address the situation promptly to mitigate potential tax implications. Here’s what you should do:





    ✅ Steps to Take



    1. Contact Your ISA Provider(s):
    • Reach out to the provider(s) where the excess contribution occurred.
    • Request the removal of the overpaid amount to correct the error.
    • Providers have procedures to handle such situations and can guide you through the process.  

  • Avoid Self-Correction for Previous Tax Years:
    • If the over-contribution happened in a previous tax year, do not attempt to rectify it yourself.
    • HMRC advises against self-correction in such cases.
    • Wait for HMRC to contact you with instructions on how to proceed.  

  • Be Aware of Tax Implications:
    • Any amount contributed over the ISA limit does not qualify for tax-free status.
    • Interest or gains earned on the excess amount may be subject to taxation.
    • HMRC will inform you of any tax liabilities and the steps to rectify the situation.  






    • ℹ️ Additional Information



    • Annual ISA Allowance:
      • For the 2025/26 tax year, the total ISA allowance remains at £20,000.
      • You can split this allowance across different types of ISAs (Cash ISA, Stocks and Shares ISA, Innovative Finance ISA, and Lifetime ISA), but the combined contributions must not exceed £20,000.  

    • Monitoring Contributions:
      • Regularly track your ISA contributions to ensure you don’t exceed the annual limit.
      • Keep records of all deposits made into your ISAs throughout the tax year.

    • Future Changes:
      • While there have been discussions about altering ISA allowances, no changes have been implemented as of now.
      • Stay informed about any potential updates to ISA rules in future government announcements.
