Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trust Examples
Client with pension income of £200k per annum.
Income Tax liability of approx £52,500 per annum.
Commitment of approx £175k per annum to EIS and VCT investments. Over a 6 year period this means committing capital of just over £1m. Unless tax legislation changes or investments don’t perform as planned client
will be able to benefit from a nominal tax liability each year.
Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trust Examples
Client with Self Employed income of £20k per annum. Income Tax liability of approx £2,500 per annum. Commitment of approx £8k per annum to EIS and VCT investments. Over a 6 year period this means committing capital of £48k. Unless tax legislation changes or investments don’t perform as planned client will be able to benefit from a nominal tax liability each year.
Tax and NIC changes – is that the end...?
Child Benefit for high earners • Will continue to be paid in full
• Once one householder has income of £50k+ tax charge of 1% of the Benefit received per £100 of income over £50k
Effect – taxpayers with income of more than £60k will have a tax charge equal to the Child Benefit
Alternatively they can elect for the benefit not to be paid
HMRC will contact people earning over £50k in Autumn of 2012
What about people who move from less than £50k to more than £50k?
Child Benefit changes for high earners – real impact example
Client has salary of £50k
2 Children so £1,752 Child Benefit received
Bonus paid of £5k
Income Tax £2,000
NIC £100
Loss of Child Benefit £876
(£1,752 x 50%)
Total Tax, NIC and loss of Benefit £2,976
Effective “Tax” rate 59.52%
Those with more than 2 Children will face an even higher effective tax rate
HMRC estimate this will affect 1.2 million families
Likely to be dealt with via the tax return or PAYE code adjustments.

Pre Year end Income Tax planning
• Review split of income between spouses – is now the right time to form a Limited Company or Partnership – consider Child Benefit changes
• Look at your employment package and how income is taken from your company
• Maximise pension contributions – are you claiming all the relief due?
• Consider Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trust investments – they are not just for the wealthy
• Do you need to file a Tax Return?
• Review your Will – is IHT planning now appropriate?
• Plan ahead for next year and changes occurring on 6 April 2013.
