A Lifetime ISA pays a 25% government bonus on contributions up to £4,000 per year, giving a maximum bonus of £1,000 annually. It can be used to buy a first home (under £450,000) or accessed from age 60. Withdrawals for any other purpose incur a 25% penalty which effectively returns the bonus and erodes some of your own contributions (HMRC, 2026). |
