Questions about Lifetime ISAs

You can contribute up to £4,000 each tax year up until you turn 50 – this counts as part of your annual ISA allowance of £20,000. You can only pay into one LISA each tax year, but you can open multiple cash and stocks and shares versions over time. For example, you could open and pay into a Stocks and Shares LISA one tax year, and then open and pay into a Cash LISA in the tax year after that, and so on.

The government will give you a 25% bonus on contributions. So if you pay in the maximum every year, you'll get £1,000. In other words, for every £4 you put in, you'll get an extra £1 on top.

If you’ve maxed out contributions in your pension and want to save more, a LISA could be a good option. If you choose to opt out of your workplace pension to pay into a Lifetime ISA, you may lose the benefits of the employer-matched contributions. Your current and future entitlement to means-tested benefits may also be affected. Not sure what's best for you? Book a free call to speak to our wealth experts. 

Yes, you can withdraw money for free in three circumstances: to buy a first home that's £450,000 or less, when you turn 60, or if you're terminally ill. Withdrawing at any other time means you’ll pay a 25% government charge.

Yes, you can withdraw from multiple Lifetime ISAs at the same time to buy your first home. However, you will need to wait at least one year from the date of your first payment into each account, or you'll pay a 25% government withdrawal charge. If you're buying with somebody else who also has a LISA, you can use both as long as you're buying a property for £450,000 or less. Learn more about using a LISA to buy a house

Yes, it's simple to do on our website – but not currently possible on our app. Go to ‘Transfers’ in the left-hand sidebar of your online dashboard, fill out the transfer form, and post it to your current provider. We'll work with them to take care of the rest, and let you know when the transfer is complete – transfers usually take around three weeks.

As with all investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down or up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax rules vary by individual status and may change. If you withdraw the money before you’re 60, and it’s not to buy a qualifying first home, you may pay a 25% government withdrawal charge. If you opt out of your workplace pension to pay into a Lifetime ISA, you may lose the benefits of the employer-matched contributions. Your current and future entitlement to means-tested benefits may also be affected. We provide 'restricted advice', meaning we only make investment recommendations on the products and services that we offer.
