Social Investment Tax Relief

Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) is a UK government initiative that encourages individuals to support social enterprises—organizations aiming to create positive social or environmental change. Investors can lend money or buy shares in these enterprises and, in return, receive tax benefits such as income tax relief and potential capital gains tax exemptions. The goal is to stimulate funding for socially driven projects while offering investors a financial incentive. SITR helps bridge the funding gap for charities and social businesses by making socially responsible investments more attractive and accessible.
