How to venture into the high-flying world of 20 per cent tax relief
Article Abstract:
Most ordinary people have so far not been willing to invest their money in venture capital trusts, even though they offer attractive tax breaks. This is probably because such trusts are not suitable for all investors. They are really personal equity plans for rich investors, allowing up to 100,000 pounds sterling a year to be invested. They offer income tax relief at 20% and capital gains reinvestment relief at 40%.
