Duties and levies
If you buy or sell any investments worth over £10,000, you pay a levy of £1.00 to the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (PTM).
When you buy investments, you also have to pay a form of tax called Stamp Duty or Stamp Duty Reserve Tax. This is 0.5% of the value of the investments you buy (1% on Irish stocks and 0% on Exchange Traded Funds).
Once you have opened an account we will send you your PIN and issue you with a temporary password to activate your account.
Risk Warning
The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up. You may not get back the full amount you have invested. If you're in any doubt about the suitability of an ISA, or whether to buy or sell shares, you should consult an appropriate Financial Adviser.
