Assist in the growth of small companies, enjoy income tax savings, and receive tax-free dividends through a Venture Capital Trust (VCT). A VCT is a publicly listed investment company managed by a fund manager, with the goal of generating returns by investing in small, unquoted entrepreneurial companies and supporting their expansion.

When you, as a private investor, purchase shares in a VCT, you gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of small companies. The government encourages experienced investors to invest in such enterprises as they contribute to job creation and economic development. However, investing in small businesses carries inherent risks. To mitigate these risks, the government offers generous tax incentives:

• Up to 30% tax relief – potentially save up to £60,000 on your income tax bill by investing in newly issued VCT shares.
• Tax-free dividends – VCT dividends are not required to be declared on your tax return.
• Tax-free growth – no Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on gains.
• Generous allowance – invest up to £200,000 per tax year.

It’s important to note that tax regulations may change, and tax benefits are subject to individual circumstances.
