Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) have long been a favoured method of investing in smaller companies as the tax reliefs to private investors are significant. Any capital gains on such investments, subject to the three-year holding period and qualifying company requirement, are also tax free.
The tax reliefs available under the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (Seed EIS) scheme can make it particularly attractive for high income clients, offering tax free gains on success and significant mitigation via tax reliefs in the case of a failure. The scheme provides access to funding for small companies and enables them to contribute to the continuing recovery of the UK economy.
