EIS tax relief
The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is a government scheme that offers investors a suite of tax relief to incentivise investment in startups.
The tax reliefs available to EIS shareholders are below.
Please note that tax reliefs are subject to personal circumstances (beyond those outlined below) and are liable to change.
Income tax relief of up to 30%
A £100,000 investment can result in a £30,000 reduction in your income tax bill for that year. To benefit from this, you need to have enough income tax liability and hold the shares for a minimum of three years. Maximise relief with carry back You can apply relief to the previous year if you still have the allowance available. This also allows you to apply the tax relief to the previous year's tax bill, potentially reclaiming taxes you've already paid.
Defer your capital gains bill
You can defer capital gains tax by reinvesting profits from selling other assets into EIS investments. This postpones the tax liability for the duration of your EIS holding. When you eventually sell your EIS shares, the original deferred gain becomes taxable again at whatever capital gains tax rate applies at that time.
Tax-free capital growth
You normally don't pay capital gains tax (CGT) when selling SEIS shares if you claimed income tax relief on them and the companies still meet the requirements.
Inheritance Tax Relief
EIS investments qualify for relief from inheritance tax under current legislation, provided that the investment has been held for at least two years, it is still held at time of death and remains unlisted.
Loss Relief
In the event of negative performance, there is some return on the downside through loss relief, on a per Investee Company basis.
The net amount of the loss (i.e. after deducting any income tax relief obtained on making the investment) can be offset against taxable income in the year in which the loss is made (or can be carried back to the previous tax year). If the loss is to be offset against a separate gain, this can be done in the tax year in which disposal occurs, or (in full or in part) in a subsequent tax year.
