Tax year End - EIS Opportunities

As we rapidly approach tax year end and clients submit their self-assessment tax returns, financial adviser’s attention will be drawn to tax planning and mitigating tax relating to both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 tax years.

The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) continues to be one of the most tax-advantaged schemes and is a core Government tool for encouraging investment in growth-focused companies.

Both the Deepbridge Technology Growth EIS and Deepbridge Life Sciences EIS funds continue to deploy capital on a monthly basis, which provides you and your clients with the opportunity to have capital actively working in the quickest time possible (based on our market research of the EIS market). 

IMPORTANT: If your client is seeking to offset income tax relating to the 2021/22 tax year, then they need to have funds deployed in the 2022/23 tax year in order to utilise carry-back relief. Please note that deployment in the 2022/23 tax year is subject to the closing date of 29th March 2023 for receipt of fully completed applications and cleared funds.

If you need deployment even sooner, then we can also confirm that applications and capital received by 24th February will be deployed before the end of February.

Don't forget: electronic application forms can be requested via the Deepbridge website here.
