Webinar – Tax Efficient Investing Part 1 – Benefits of VCT’s and EIS’s
15 November 10am
We are teaming up with the private client & entrepreneurial business team at MHA MacIntyre Hudson, to bring you a monthly webinar series. Each month, we will focus on a key topic, and conclude with an open clinic to discuss specific questions or concerns you have.
In this webinar, we look at the different types of tax efficient investment schemes and incentives that may be suitable for you.
Tax mitigation is a way of ensuring that your tax affairs are properly structured so that you don’t pay any more tax than you should. In the UK there are several methods which allow you to legitimately do this, including financial schemes such as Venture Capital Trusts (VCT’s) and Enterprise Investment Schemes (EIS’s).
VCT’s and EIS’s have been used for many years, and they are as tax efficient now as they have always been. Both schemes offer good tax advantages such as a reduction in income tax liability, potential tax-free growth in value, and the opportunity to hold over other capital gains.
Considering the tax benefits involved, it is worthwhile understanding the risks and ensuring you have the financial flexibility to invest in the types of companies these schemes are aimed at.
Scott Newbould joins Patrick King and James Kipping from MHA MacIntyre Hudson, to explain more about these schemes and with real-life case studies to demonstrate the benefits and risks, to help you decide if these schemes are a suitable investment route for you.

Key Risks: Capital at risk. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income generated from it can go down as well as up, and is not guaranteed, therefore you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Investment markets and conditions can change rapidly. Investments should always be considered long term.
VCT’s:
Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) are high risk investments and there may be no market for the shares should you wish to dispose of them. You may lose your capital. The tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future.
EIS:
Enterprise Investment Schemes (EISs) and Seed Enterprise Investment Schemes (SEIS) are very high-risk investments. An EIS/SEIS investment is usually concentrated in one single unquoted trading company. Often there is no market for the shares, and it may therefore be very difficult to make a disposal. There is a strong possibility of the chosen company failing and you may lose your capital. The tax treatment depends on the individual circumstances of each client and may be subject to change in future.
