SEIS gives the qualifying investor extensive income tax and CGT breaks. Therefore, it is helping to drive investment in new businesses across the country.
For investors the main benefits of the scheme are as follows:
The qualifying investor cannot be employed by the company from the date of issue of the shares to the third anniversary of that date. This only applies to directors who are allowed to invest provided they don't hold a substantial interest in the company.
A substantial holding is held by someone who controls or owns more than 30% of any of the following in either the company itself or a 51% subsidiary of the company:
These restrictions also include the investor’s associates. This leaves some scope for new small businesses to help raise investment from extended family.
