Share Schemes (EMI/EIS)

Share equity can be a tax efficient way to attract employees and/or investors.

For employees, if you offer shares through Share Incentive Plans, Save As You Earn, Company Share Option Plans and Enterprise Management Incentives (EMIs) it can encourage loyalty and deliver rewards in a tax efficient manner.

Third party Investors are more likely to invest in your business if you can offer HMRC approved EIS/SEIS status. 

There are a number of options including:

• Enterprise Investment Scheme: 
  • Useful way for most companies to raise finance 
  • In addition, eligible investors can receive substantial tax relief on the value of their investment. 
• Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme :  
  • Useful way for very small new companies to attract investment
  • In addition, eligible investors can receive substantial tax relief on the value of their investment.
• EMI Schemes :

  • Ability to issue shares to employees tax efficiently and after the employee meet set targets.
