GrowthInvest is an independent platform, which provides access to tax-efficient investments to a growing network of UK financial advisers, wealth managers and investors. The platform aims to bring the advantages of early-stage investing to a wider audience of investors and advisers, who are able to benefit from the potentially higher returns these companies can offer and tax efficiency via government-approved schemes, such as SEIS and EIS.
The platform technology provides the investors on the platform with full transparency on the underlying investments alongside efficient regular reporting at company level.
SEIS & EIS tax incentives
The companies the fund invest in are expected to be SEIS-EIS-qualifying, which makes GrowthInvest Portfolio Service SEIS-EIS suitable for qualifying clients who would potentially benefit from the following tax reliefs:
- Up to 30% income tax relief (50% for SEIS)
- Tax-free investment growth
- Capital gains deferral (50% 50% capital gains tax exemption for SEIS)
- Inheritance tax relief
- Loss relief
Please note: SEIS-EIS tax reliefs are only made available to investors because of the higher risks associated with investing in early-stage companies. Also, the availability of tax reliefs will depend on the investor's personal circumstances, and tax legislation can change in the future.
