This work covers structuring investments to maximise reliefs and tax-efficient ownership in commercial ventures. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates investor agreements, coordinates fundraising, and advises on reliefs such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme and SEIS, research and development tax credits, and capital allowances, as well as VAT planning and interaction with HMRC. They prepare and file elections and claims, liaise with investors, accountants and HMRC, and advise on compliance, reporting deadlines and the timing of transactions. The work is shaped by changes in tax policy and the evolving interpretation of tax rules by HMRC and the courts.
