SEIS Investments

Invest in startups, receive up to 50% income and 50% capital gains tax relief 

Like the EIS, the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) rewards investors with very significant tax savings when they invest in young and small companies that qualify for SEIS status. 

The difference is SEIS-qualifying companies are even smaller and younger than EIS-qualifying companies, so even riskier. To help compensate for the additional risk, the government offers even more generous tax savings: 

  • 50% income tax relief – get back half of what you invest 
  • Enjoy tax-free growth
  • Halve capital gains liability from other investments 
  • Offset any losses against your income, so you save income tax
  • Pass on your investment free of IHT

Remember, tax rules can change and tax benefits depend on circumstances.
