This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about people not being aware of the limited time period the withdrawal penalty for Lifetime ISAs was reduced for, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Your petition asks for the penalty to be reduced for seven days, but it's not clear what seven days you want it to be reduced for.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Permanently reduce the Lifetime ISA (LISA) withdrawal penalty from 25% to 20%: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/570826
