Venture Capital Relief
Owing to the generous tax reliefs available to individuals via HMRC’s Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Venture Capital Trust (VCT) legislation, companies looking for cash injection often find that investors only invest in businesses that meet the required and stringent “qualifying company” conditions.
Our team of specialists make sure that you feel confident your company will qualify for the appropriate relief or have assurance on the relevant investor tax relief scheme through thorough analysis and information gathering.
We work with companies to ensure applications are robust based on our practical experience and technical knowledge. Our approach throughout our VCR work is thorough and considered to ensure compliance with the extensive HMRC requirements.
From an investor perspective, we work with individuals and EIS/VCT funds to advise on how to maximise benefits for the schemes individually or together. Through our work, we give both businesses and investors the best opportunity of securing these valuable tax reliefs.
Under our Venture Capital Tax Reliefs offering, services include: Providing SEIS and EIS advice to companies wanting comfort on their qualifying status prior to seeking / securing investment, advice on structuring investment so as to not preclude companies from meeting the stringent qualifying conditions, preparation of SEIS, EIS and VCT Advance Assurance applications to HMRC, end-to-end SEIS, EIS and VCT compliance support for individuals, companies and EIS/VCT funds.
