The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) provide tax-efficient opportunities for individuals looking to invest in early-stage and start-up companies, while supporting British businesses.
Income Tax Relief
Through SEIS and EIS, qualifying investors can significantly reduce their income tax liability — up to 50% for SEIS and 30% for EIS — subject to annual limits.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) Exemption
Gains on qualifying SEIS and EIS shares are exempt from CGT upon disposal.
Additional Tax Advantages
SEIS and EIS investments may also benefit from CGT reinvestment relief and inheritance tax (IHT) advantages, making them one of the most generous tax incentives available in the UK.
