SEIS Tax Relief Options

Split a £100k SEIS investment over two tax years

Didn't find your answer?

If a client subscribes for £100k of shares under the SEIS scheme in 2019-20 is it possible to relieve £50k by carrying back to 18-19 and utilise the remaining £50k in 19-20?

I have read the legislation, which suggests that you can, but if you follow HMRC's examples of how to claim, it suggests that you can't

Legislation > HMRC's guidance.

Look at ITA 2007 s.257 (I think).

What part of the guidance in the manual leads you to believe you cannot carry back £50K to the previous year? Please explain.

Thanks for your replies, I have misread the examples in HMRC guidance and am now happy that it can be split and part carried back. Thanks for your help.
