We bring you the best possible solutions for your company
At Clearcut Accounting, we recognize the immense value that EIS and Seed EIS schemes bring to startups and investors alike. These schemes offer crucial financial support, aiding innovation and entrepreneurial excellence. But, navigating the intricacies of compliance and assurance can be daunting. That’s where we step in.
Enterprise Investment Scheme Benefits
Why EIS & Seed EIS Planning Matters?
Clearcut Accounting provides specialist advice on the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) to investors and growing businesses across the UK. These government-backed schemes offer some of the most generous tax reliefs available — but accessing them requires careful planning and expert knowledge. Therefore, working with an adviser who understands the rules inside out is essential. Call us on 0161 224 5456 to find out how EIS and SEIS could benefit you.
EIS Tax Relief for Investors
The Enterprise Investment Scheme offers qualifying investors income tax relief of 30% on investments up to £1 million per tax year, plus capital gains tax deferral and exemption. Consequently, EIS is one of the most tax-efficient investment structures available in the UK. Moreover, if the investment is held for the required period, any growth in value is completely free of capital gains tax. As a result, the combination of income tax relief and CGT exemption makes EIS investments particularly attractive for higher and additional rate taxpayers.
In addition, EIS investments carry loss relief — meaning that if the investment fails, you can offset the loss against your income tax. Therefore, the risk profile of EIS investments is significantly improved compared to unrelieved investments. Furthermore, investors can carry back EIS relief to the previous tax year, providing additional planning flexibility. As a result, EIS is a valuable tool not just for growing companies but for sophisticated investors looking to manage their tax position.
SEIS for Early-Stage Business Investment
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme provides even more generous relief for investors in very early-stage companies — up to 50% income tax relief on investments of up to £200,000 per tax year. Consequently, SEIS is designed to encourage investment into the riskiest stage of business development. Moreover, from April 2023, the SEIS limits were expanded, making it accessible to a wider range of investors and companies.
Additionally, for companies raising under SEIS, our team helps ensure your company qualifies for the scheme and that your fundraising documents are correctly structured. As a result, investors can claim their tax relief with confidence, and the fundraising process is more straightforward. Furthermore, we advise on the interaction between SEIS and EIS, which can be used in combination to maximise the amount raised.
Why Choose Clearcut Accounting for EIS and SEIS Advice?
EIS and SEIS compliance is complex — the qualifying conditions are strict, and errors can invalidate investor relief claims. Therefore, getting the advice right from the outset is critical. However, with the right guidance, these schemes are genuinely transformative — both for investors seeking tax-efficient returns and for companies seeking growth capital. Ultimately, our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for everyone involved.
