What happens to my Help To Buy ISA Bonus if i transfer to a LISA

Options
Hello,


I currently have a Help To Buy ISA which currently has £4800.


I have opened a Skipton LISA account and added the £1 recommended.


When I transfer the Help To Buy ISA to the LISA next year, what happens to the government bonus? (currently £1200 on £4800)


May be a daft question, but can't find the answer anywhere.

    Nothing happens to it. Your Help to Buy ISA funds become LISA contributions which attract a 25% bonus at the same time as other LISA contributions.
