Consultation: Tax-advantaged venture capital schemes: ensuring continued support for small and growing businesses
The above consultation seeks views and information on the recent reforms and expansions of the tax-advantaged venture capital schemes (SEIS, EIS and VCT). Views are invited by 19 September 2014
At Budget 2014 the government announced that it would run a consultation and evidence gathering exercise to understand the impact of the recent reforms and expansions of these schemes. The consultation also considers some possible changes to the schemes, including options to accommodate the use of convertible loans within the schemes, and what is referred to as a more principled approach to the exclusion of very low-risk investment opportunities.
