You’ve invested in a company and now you’re getting ready to claim EIS and receive 30% of your investment back as an EIS tax relief.
It must feel good.
But how to actually do it?
After the company you invested in has been trading for 4 months they will request the EIS3 certificates from HMRC, and then distribute these certificates to their investors – i.e. you.
If you used an agency or platform for your EIS investments then you should receive the EIS3 certificate from them instead.
The EIS3 certificate contains the key information needed for claiming your tax relief with your self assessment, including the time and amount of investment.
This is the document that proves you’re a shareholder in the business.
Normally the company you invested in must have also issued you one before you receive your EIS3 certificate.
When you’re filing your annual income tax return you must claim the EIS tax relief by filling in the “other tax reliefs” section on your Additional Information (SA101) pages.
Enter the total amount invested on section 2 of that page:
