Overview

EIIS is a valuable source of funds for early-stage innovative companies, and others expanding into new products or geographical markets. It is one of the few remaining total income tax reliefs available to investors looking to reduce their tax liabilities.

However, the rules of EIIS have become very complex in recent years and the risks have increased significantly for companies raising EIIS funds.

These questions need to be answered before determining if an investment qualifies for EIIS relief:

Is the company a qualifying company?
Are State Aid GBER rules complied with?
Is the company a firm in difficulty?
Is the Business Plan EIIS compliant?
What rights can attach to EIIS shares?
How do investors claim their relief?
Can investors follow their money on previous investments?

We work closely with companies, investors and their professional advisors to determine if an investment qualifies for relief in representing clients to Revenue on EIIS related matters.

L&J Tax has been a fabulous resource in helping HBAN scale, supporting with tax advice, compliance, transaction support, back office and company secretarial services that has become part of the fabric of angel investing in Ireland. I would highly recommend L&J Tax to anyone considering their services.”
