Tax-Efficient Investment for Dental Professionals
As a dental practice owner, you're likely paying 40% or 45% income tax on a significant portion of your earnings. The government's Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) allows you to invest up to £200,000 per year in qualifying UK companies and claim 50% of that investment back as income tax relief.
| You invest | £50,000 |
| HMRC returns (50% income tax relief) | £25,000 |
| If held 3+ years: capital gains | £0 (exempt) |
| If total loss: loss relief at 45% | £11,250 |
| Worst-case actual cost (additional rate) | £13,750 |
Your actual downside on a £50,000 investment is approximately £13,750 after all tax reliefs (assuming additional-rate taxpayer). Your accountant can confirm these figures for your individual circumstances.
We connect dental professionals with screened SEIS-eligible investment opportunities (subject to HMRC advance assurance). Detailed information is available for your professional adviser on request, for review by your accountant or financial adviser. You invest only after your adviser has confirmed the tax position.
