Understanding SEIS and EIS: The Cornerstones of Tax-Efficient Investing
Early-stage ventures often need a nudge. SEIS (Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme) and EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) exist to push capital into the right projects. They offer generous reliefs that make tax-efficient investments shine.
What is SEIS?
- Designed for very young businesses under two years old.
- Offers up to 50% Income Tax relief on investments.
- Caps investment at £100,000 per investor, per tax year.
- Gains free from Capital Gains Tax if held for three years.
- Helps founders bridge the funding gap in seed rounds.
What is EIS?
- Suited to slightly more mature startups under seven years old.
- Delivers up to 30% Income Tax relief on investments.
- Allows up to £1 million per investor, per year (£2 million in knowledge-intensive companies).
- Qualifies gains for deferral or exemption if conditions are met.
- Encourages ongoing support for scaling firms.
Comparing SEIS and EIS
- Relief rate: SEIS 50%, EIS 30%.
- Holding period: three years for both.
- Annual investment limit: SEIS £100k, EIS £1m–£2m.
- Risk profile: SEIS funds very early risk, EIS backs more established ventures.
Key Tax Breaks to Watch
- Loss relief: offset losses against income tax.
- Capital Gains Reinvestment Relief: reinvest CGT into SEIS to cut gains.
- Deferral relief: postpone CGT from one asset sale into an EIS stake.
- Inheritance Tax relief: after two years, shares get 100% business relief.
