EIS/SEIS applications
Investors often ask about these tax schemes so it helps to get ready in advance where possible.
The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) are government approved tax schemes.
They offer an investor some very generous tax savings, not just on income tax but capital gains, loss relief and gains on the investment themselves. We can help you gain HMRC advanced assurance to show investors and then issue the relevant documents to investors for their tax returns. For more information book a consultation or check out our guide.
