Hi All

First post so hope my question is straightforward and easy to understand. I recently sold my business and enjoyed ER on the capital gain. I've been told I can defer the tax owed by investing in SEIS/ EIS qualifying businesses, is this correct?

Many thanks

This is a matter of taste but I would only go into SEIS/EIS if you are attracted to EIS on investment grounds or benefit from the income tax benefits as well.

Failing that, it seems unattractive to lock up your money in illiquid high risk investments to save 10% tax.
