Hi guys am I right iin thinking you can have multiple brokers for example trading 212 and freetrade as long as the second one is started in a different tax year for example 2013 and 2014? ---

So this is a good time to talk about taxes on investments as they affect those of us using Trading 212. Some information about ISAs is also here. Taxes on dividends and capital gains in the year 6 April 2022 - 5 April 2023 need to be computed and paid by 31 January 2024.

You can only pay into 1 ISA per tax year but you could have multiple non-ISAs and pay in each month ---

Big fan of the S&S LISA. Don’t use all £20K in the S&S ISA imo.
