What are EIS and SEIS investments?
Investors can access EIS and SEIS investments through a variety of channels, including venture capital trusts (VCTs), enterprise investment schemes (EISs), and seed enterprise investment schemes (SEISs). It’s important to conduct due diligence on any company before investing, to ensure it meets the qualifying criteria for the scheme and to assess the potential risks and rewards.
What are EIS and SEIS investments?
EIS and SEIS investments are designed to support small and early-stage companies by providing them with access to new sources of capital. In return for investing in these companies, individual investors can receive a range of tax reliefs, including income tax relief, capital gains tax relief, and inheritance tax relief.
What are EIS and SEIS investments?
Income tax relief: Investors can claim income tax relief of 30% on the amount invested, up to a maximum investment of £1,000,000 per tax year.
Capital gains tax relief: Investors can defer paying capital gains tax on any gains made from the sale of assets, as long as the proceeds are reinvested in EIS or SEIS qualifying companies within the same tax year.
Inheritance tax relief: EIS and SEIS investments are exempt from inheritance tax after two years of holding.
Risk: EIS and SEIS investments are considered high-risk, as they are typically made in early-stage companies that have not yet established a proven track record.
