What is a Stocks & Shares Lifetime ISA?

  • Investment Lifetime ISAs are designed to help you invest for your future. You can use a Stocks & Shares Lifetime ISA to put money aside for your first home or retirement.
  • You can invest up to £4,000 each tax year and get a 25% government bonus on all savings.
  • For every £4 you pay in, you get £1 for free. Pay in the maximum of £4,000 per tax year and you'll receive a £1,000 bonus every year.
  • With a Stocks & Shares LISA, rather than earning additional interest on top of your savings & bonuses, you'll invest your money in funds and grow your savings over time.
  • Both the potential risk and potential reward is greater with investing. It should be regarded as longer term (at least 5 years) and you may get back less than you invest.

It's important you know

A 25% government penalty applies if you withdraw money from a Lifetime ISA for any reason other than buying your first home (up to £450,000) or for retirement, and you may get back less than you paid into your Lifetime ISA.

Capital at risk. All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest.

Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

The Lifetime ISA is treated differently for tax purposes when compared to a pension. If you decide to opt out of your workplace pension and instead pay into a Lifetime ISA, you will not benefit from any employer-matched contributions into your LISA and it may affect your current and future entitlement to means-tested state benefits. If considering the Lifetime ISA for the purposes of retirement, we recommend you speak with an independent financial advisor.
