EIS and SEIS tax reliefs for angel investors

Want to invest your wealth in a tax-efficient way while supporting some of Wales’ most exciting businesses?

The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) are highly attractive tax relief schemes set up by the government to incentivise investment into early-stage businesses.

This type of investment is high risk, but these schemes offer considerable downside protection and also increase any gains you make. The reliefs include:

• Income tax relief
• Loss relief
• Capital gains tax exemption
• Capital gains tax deferral
• Inheritance tax exemption

To find out about these, and who qualifies for the schemes, visit the UKBAA website.

Angel investor Patrick Nash said:

“Any investor is looking to minimise risk; this is crucial in any investment strategy. The EIS and SEIS schemes are one of the best ways of doing this.”
