What are SEIS & EIS?
The UK government created two schemes to encourage early-stage investing:
-
Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS):
• Up to 50% income tax relief on investments
• Capital gains relief if shares held for three years
• Loss relief against income -
Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS):
• Up to 30% income tax relief
• Deferral of capital gains by reinvesting gains into EIS shares
• Loss relief and inheritance tax relief
These programmes make tax-efficient investments in start-ups far more appealing. They tackle upfront tax, capital gains and even inheritance tax. The key is timing and eligibility. You need to meet criteria on company size, trade type and share capital. Oriel IPO takes care of the vetting so you stay compliant and focused on returns.

Strategies to Defer and Manage Tax Liabilities
Deferring a tax liability can free up cash for new deals. Here are tried-and-tested tactics:
- Reinvest capital gains into EIS shares
- Use SEIS relief to offset income tax in the current year
- Hold shares beyond qualifying periods to secure CGT exemption
- Combine loss relief with income tax relief to reduce downside
By reinvesting an existing gain into an EIS-eligible start-up, you push the CGT bill into the future. SEIS can even wipe out half your income tax for the year. Savvy investors layer these techniques to create truly tax-efficient investments portfolios. And yes, timing is everything. Chart your gains and match them to EIS offers seamlessly through Oriel IPO’s curated listings.
