Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS)

The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) is a UK government initiative designed to encourage investment in early-stage startups. It offers tax incentives to individual investors who put money into qualifying new businesses, reducing their tax liabilities. Specifically, investors can claim income tax relief on their investment, and any future profits or capital gains may be tax-free, provided certain conditions are met. SEIS aims to support innovative small companies by making it more attractive for individuals to invest in high-risk ventures, fostering entrepreneurship, and stimulating economic growth.
