2021 UK general election sparks 90% increase in SEIS investments, totalling £157 million across 1,815 companies.

Since the UK's General Election on July 4, investments in the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) have surged, tripling the number of investors. This increase is driven by concerns over potential capital gains tax hikes and the scheme's tax relief benefits, offering up to 50% income tax relief. Investments rose by 90% compared to last year, with a total of £157 million invested across 1,815 companies in the last tax year.
