Mercia’s EIS is a tax-efficient technology fund seeking to generate returns of 3x invested capital, including tax reliefs, over five to ten years.

We accomplish this by creating a diverse portfolio of approximately 12 companies per fund, across sectors including Software (B2B), Healthcare, Deeptech and Consumer. 

By investing in companies across the UK's regions with modest capital requirements, we can buy well whilst offering our investors the best opportunities to maximise returns.

Unlocking tax benefits with EIS

EIS offers more than just investment potential. It also brings valuable tax benefits, including income tax relief, capital gains tax deferral, and inheritance tax relief. These advantages enhance the attractiveness of the investment proposition, providing investors with valuable financial incentives.

Capital gains deferral (of any size) can be made up to three years before and one year after the investment and you may defer a gain even if you have already paid the tax. Most EIS-qualifying investments attract 100% Inheritance Tax relief via Business Relief.

Explore our tax planning case studies to gain insights into the benefits that can be experienced by investors.

Cameron

Case Study: Capital gains tax deferral

Cameron is a company director who originally purchased shares for £400k and has sold them for £500k: this created a taxable capital gain of £100k, and therefore a £20k capital gains tax (CGT) liability.

His financial adviser recommends an EIS to defer his capital gain, whilst also taking advantage of income tax relief. As well as the income tax relief Cameron will benefit from, he will not pay any capital gains tax on his £100k profit for many years, or even indefinitely if he continues to re-invest into EIS.
