HMRC have issued Brief 77/09, in which they set out a revised view on how the qualifying condition for Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) relief contained in ITA 2007, s. 183 (the issuing company to carry on the qualifying business activity requirement) should be applied.

HMRC consider that the relevant legislation at s. 183 has the effect of disqualifying a company where the relevant trade, preparation work or research and development, is carried on by the company in partnership or by a limited liability partnership of which the company is a member.

This view was originally set out in a technical note issued as a supplementary document to the 2009
Pre-Budget Report. The content of that note has now been republished as a Brief to correct a typographical error in the original text.
