EIS and SEIS aiming to allot shares this tax year
Archived article
Archived article: please remember tax and investment rules and circumstances can change over time. This article reflects our views at the time of publication.
Please note: there are no longer any EIS or SEIS offers aiming to allot shares in the 2020/21 tax year. There are, however, a number of offers that aim to allot in the 2021/22 tax year, with the option to carry back to 2020/21.
A reminder: how does ‘carry back’ work?
With EIS and SEIS investments you have the option to use the income tax relief against tax paid or owed for a previous tax year (known as “carry back”).
When EIS or SEIS shares are allotted – or the investment date for tax purposes – determines which is the current or previous tax year.
So, for instance, if the allotment or investment date for tax purposes is before 5 April 2022, you could claim the income tax relief in the 2021/22 tax year or carry back to 2020/21.
