Lifetime ISA

Can I open a Lifetime ISA if I already have an ISA?

Yes, you can pay into a Lifetime ISA and an ISA in the same tax year if you wish!

Just note that the annual contribution limit for the Lifetime ISA is £4,000 per tax year, and this counts towards the overall annual ISA contribution limit of £20,000.
