You can never quite see into the future.
How do you know which path you’ll follow? Which doors you’ll open? Or how things will turn out?
What you do know is that rent and house prices are high, making it difficult to get on the property ladder.
And maybe you haven’t even thought about it yet, but you should be thinking about the cost of retirement too. You’re going to live longer and the state pension might not be enough to get by on.
Whether you’re dreaming of buying your first home or you’d like to enjoy a comfortable retirement, you know you’re going to need plenty of this …
And while you can’t predict the future, you can prepare for it.
To help you do that, the Government’s created a new tax-free savings account. You can use it to save towards a house deposit or savings for your retirement. It’s called a Lifetime ISA (or LISA).
If you’re between 18 and 39 you can open a LISA.
And you can save up to £4,000 a year, until you are 50.
What’s so special about a LISA?
- When you save money in a LISA you don’t have to pay tax on the returns you get.
Tax rules may change and depend on individual circumstances.
- The government will boost your savings by adding an extra 25% every year – so you could get up to £1,000 extra a year.
- So, for every four pounds you save in a LISA, the government gives you an extra £1 for nothing. What’s not to like?
Designed for people who want to save for the medium to long term, typically five years or more.
