Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)
New form SEIS1 has now been published to complete for company approval following an issue of shares.
Relief under the SEIS is available at 50% of the cost of the shares, on a maximum annual investment of £100,000. The relief is given by way of a reduction of tax liability, providing there is sufficient tax liability against which to set it.
Guidance on the SEIS is available at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/seedeis/background.htm. The updated company approval form is available at http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/seis1.pdf. A detailed feature on the SEIS is also available in this issue of tax.point on here.
