How does it work?
It’s now time to start thinking about what you’d like to do with your Child Trust Fund money. One of your options is moving it to our Lifetime ISA.
A Lifetime ISA (Individual Savings Account) is an investment account designed to help towards buying your first home or for use at later life (when you’re aged 60).
Here’s the bonus
For every £10 you pay in, the government will add a bonus of £2.50 to your savings. So, if you paid in the maximum £4,000 in this current tax year, you’d get an extra £1,000 on top – totally free of charge – so you’d now have £5,000 saved.
There’s a few important things to note:
- You need to save into the account for at least 12 months before purchasing your first home
- A penalty charge of 25% will apply for any withdrawals before age 60 that are not for the purchase of your first home
- Your investment will be free from income and capital gains taxes (tax rules may change in the future)
- It’s worth remembering that the value of stocks and shares can fall as well as rise. This is normal for this type of investment, but it does mean you could get back less than has been paid in.
