Relief for Investors in Small Companies A bit of good news for individual investors and small and medium sized companies: An extension for the enterprise investment scheme (EIS) and the venture capital trust (VCT) scheme. The EIS and the VCT scheme offer tax reliefs to individuals investing in small and medium-sized companies. A number of conditions must be met for a claim for tax relief to be valid. One of these conditions is that the shares in the company (for EIS relief) or in the VCT are issued before a date specified in the legislation. That date has now been extended from 6 April 2025 to 6 April 2035. Companies and Investors alike will be relieved - Allowing the schemes to lapse could have lead to a significant gap in early-stage equity finance.
