Why invest using the SEIS?
A Wealth of Portfolio Enhancing and Tax Planning Benefits
By investing into high-growth startups and scaleups via the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), investors have the potential to unlock a host of valuable benefits, many of which are not available via traditional equity routes.
From tax advantages including 30% income tax relief and capital gains tax exemption, to access to the alternative investment space and its volatility-resistant benefits, investing using the SEIS can enable investors to minimise the risk and maximise the returns associated with venture capital via several means.
Income Tax Benefits
SEIS investment opportunities provide up to 50% income tax relief, making them a compelling choice for investors who want to reduce their tax liabilities while supporting innovative startups.
Tax-Free Growth
SEIS investments offer the benefit of tax exemption on capital gains for shares held for at least three years, providing a distinctive opportunity to enhance your financial portfolio while benefiting from substantial tax incentives.
Future Asset Planning
Inheritance tax relief facilitates investors in strategically planning for the future by leveraging the tax-efficient structure of SEIS investments.
Risk Minimisation
SEIS loss relief is available, ensuring that in the event of underperformance, investors can recover a portion of their investment through tax savings.
Reinvestment relief
Using SEIS reinvestment relief, investors can exempt 50% of a capital gain from capital gains tax when they reinvest the gain into SEIS-eligible shares.
High Target Growth
SEIS investment opportunities concentrate on high-growth startups, providing investors with the opportunity to support innovative enterprises while pursuing substantial returns on investments.
