Did you know the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is much larger than its better-known cousin, Venture Capital Trusts?

What sets EIS apart, and why could experienced investors consider it? 

This concise and straightforward factsheet explains in plain English:

What EIS is and how it works – at a glance

Risks, benefits and five key tax advantages

How to claim up to 30% off your income tax bill when you invest in small companies via an EIS

How to defer capital gains – potentially indefinitely

The other tax quirks of EIS that set it apart

Please note: EIS investments are in smaller higher-risk companies. They are not suitable for everyone. They are illiquid and capital is at risk. Investors should not invest money they are not prepared to lose. Tax rules can change and benefits depend on circumstances. This free factsheet is not advice, it simply explains the main facts, so you can decide for yourself.
