Enterprise Investment Scheme – a tax efficient investment!

Have you considered other tax efficient investments to maximise your cashflow? If you are looking for investment opportunities, you should absolutely consider the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS)...

Enterprise Investment Scheme

These investments in certain qualifying companies allow you to set off 30% of the amount invested against your tax bill as well as the ability to defer capital gains tax (CGT) until the shares are sold.

An even more generous tax break is available for investment in a qualifying Seed EIS company where income tax relief at 50 per cent is available and in addition it is possible to obtain relief against your 2019/20 capital gains. Shares in EIS and Seed EIS companies are risky investments and you should seek specialist advice before investing.

30% income tax relief is also available by investing in a Venture Capital Trust or by investing in a qualifying Social Enterprise.
