RE: ISAs -DCU Tax Position10 Aug 2023 16:53
I agree nimrod's logic. exquisitively put, quite beautifully. however HMRC have 'ruled', their logic will be weaker than nimrod's. HMRC decision is wrong, flawed, and was likely made by a jobsworth incompetent negligent (90% of all humans).
today spoke with HL who confirm received HMRC decision to remove from ISA. consequently DCU's which so far have been left in ISA will be automatically transferred to to 'fund & shares account' (ie removed from ISA wrapper) shortly - likely within 7-14 days.
DCU spread has been tight 1.69 - 1.79 with only a million sold. so pi's are not selling (good). and if they do, if they nominate price wanted at say 2.0 or 2.5, likely won't get it.
i will do exactly as nimrod. and if called out, will argue the case right up to HMRC appeals procedure. I detest incompetence, negligence, and legalised theft. my advice to all is to copy and save nimrod's post. if the f eckers want to steal your money, make 'em fight
