Case Study: KI EIS for CGT deferral and income tax relief in 2024/25
James is a successful entrepreneur who recently sold his technology business, generating a capital gain of £ 2.5 million and facing a potential £500,000 capital gains tax (CGT) liability. He has a large income tax liability in the 2024/2025 tax year.
His financial adviser recommended investing in Mercia KI EIS to both defer his capital gain and benefit from income tax relief. His financial adviser suggests that James remove himself from income tax in 2024/25 and 2025/26, and defer the equivalent amount of Capital Gain. The team at Mercia was very helpful in creating an illustration for the optimal EIS investment strategy.
The fund's accelerated deployment will improve his cash flow position, allowing him to claim tax benefits sooner rather than waiting for a slower traditional EIS investment cycle.
