home - enterprise investment scheme
Since 1997 we have dealt with over 40 enterprise investment schemes. The purpose of EIS is to give people tax benefits when they invest in new businesses. We have been involved in helping companies raise outside finance to fund their business activities but also we have used EIS to help mitigate capital gains and income tax.
Tax relief at 60% is still just possible for a certain class of individuals and so if you have significant capital gains you might want to consider whether there are business opportunities you might consider as an investment in order to secure tax relief. If you have gains taxed at 28% and income at higher rates then you can still get 48% tax relief on your investment.
We have helped clients with a busy schedule by managing their new business or by recruiting managers for them.
news
business clients
If you are a business looking to raise outside funds from 'Business Angels' then the tax advantages of EIS will often be crucial in persuading them to invest. We can help you set up the scheme and gain advance clearance from HMRC so that your investors are reassured that the tax relief promised will be obtained.
international clients
We have advised individuals who have invested in EIS in order to postpone capital gains. If they move overseas a significant time after the original investment, capital gains tax can be avoided.
individual clients
Individuals looking to mitigate income tax or capital gains tax are drawn to EIS. We have helped many individuals planning to set up consultancy businesses and EIS by giving them a significant tax saving as well as providing funds for the business.
