SEIS & EIS
Introduced in 1994, these government approved tax incentives known as Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS) provide income tax and capital gains tax reliefs for qualifying investments making it easier for companies to raise finance.
​
Various conditions need to be met in order for the business and investor to qualify for the relief. We can guide you through these conditions as well as obtain an advance clearance from HMRC that your proposed business activity will qualify for EIS relief.
​
An even more generous relief called the Seed EIS (SEIS) was introduced in April 2012 for the first £250k of investment raised. It is possible to combine this with the full EIS to create a hybrid which perfectly fits your business needs.
See the resources below for further information on these important reliefs.

How Affect will help you
Affect can guide you through the rules relating to the scheme to determine if they are suitable to your project and fund-raising intentions. This will include advice on structuring of the company to balance objectives of founders and investors as well as general advice regarding best practice and legal requirements.
We can provide advice in relation to SEIS/EIS qualification including working with the founders to provide comfort that the project should qualify for SEIS/EIS tax relief or applying to HMRC for Advance Assurance that the project will qualify.
​
Affect can also issue shares to the investors and complete the compliance statement once investment has been raised so that HMRC issue tax relief forms to each relevant investor.
