    So, if you aren't able to use LISA for a house purchase and will be using it to fund retirement or later life: iinvesting with higher rate tax relief in a pension usually beats investing with LISA. Whereas if you only pay basic rate tax at the moment, pension doesn't beat LISA because £100 of pension investment costs £80 and is potentially taxable in retirement. while £100 of LISA investments costs £80 is not taxable in retirement even if you were to draw out the entire balance on one day (as long as you're age 60).

    I should also state that although I'm a basic rate tax payer, I work as a contractor, so I'm paid through my company and I pay my pension contributions from my company. Any additional monies I pay are my basic salary and dividends.

    I presume this means that LISA is not a viable option? However, if I'm still looking to invest approx £4k - £5k it would still be good to go for the LISA option.
