Venture Capital Trusts (VCT)

The UK Government introduced VCTs in 1995 to encourage individuals to invest in qualifying UK companies, providing a unique source of funding for UK businesses.

The tax benefits provided by VCTs offer you an upfront Government-subsidised return, along with additional tax benefits over time.

Tax Benefits

The Government encourages investment into VCTs by offering investors a series of tax benefits:

upfront income tax relief of 30% (on up to £200,000 invested in the first tax year providing the shares are retained for five years);
tax-free dividends;
and tax-free capital gains (when you sell your shares)

Past performance is no guide to future performance. Please remember that the value of an investment may fall as well as rise and an investor may not get back the full amount invested. Tax rules and regulations are subject to change.
