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). Each opportunity comes with a full Technical Summary prepared for review by your accountant or financial adviser. You invest only after your adviser has confirmed the tax position.
