Amberside Capital and Scientific Venture Partners are raising an Enterprise Investment Scheme fund which will be making investments in companies that have the potential to disrupt their markets and that we believe have significant growth potential and a credible exit strategy for investors.
The Amberside Scientific EIS Fund is sector agnostic and will aim to invest in companies that provide the opportunity for capital growth through the use of technology.
The team at Scientific Venture Partners have a strong track record building innovative, disruptive, knowledge intensive businesses.
The fund invests in unlisted shares in small companies. The value of these shares may go up or down. As these shares have no readily available market, they may be difficult to sell.
The Enterprise Investment Scheme offers a series of tax reliefs to UK tax payers. It is designed to encourage investment in small unquoted companies carrying on an EIS qualifying trade in the United Kingdom. Eligibility for these tax reliefs is dependent on the circumstances of the individual investor.
Income Tax Relief
Individuals can obtain 30% income tax relief on EIS investments up to £2,000,000 in the current tax year, providing that at least £1,000,000 is in HMRC defined knowledge-intensive company.
Exemption from Capital Gains Tax
No CGT is payable on gains realised on the disposal of the Investments provided that they have been held for at least three years from the date of investment (or from the date of commencement of the Investee Company’s trade if later).
Capital Gains Deferral
Individuals can defer CGT on chargeable gains by making an investment of an amount equivalent to the chargeable gain in EIS qualifying shares.
Loss Relief
Capital losses realised from an investment in EIS qualifying shares may qualify for share loss relief (net of income tax relief). The loss may be set against the individual’s taxable income, or the loss may be offset against capital gains in the tax year of disposal. Any excess losses may be carried forward for relief against future capital gains.
