Global Wealth Investor publishes general information about investing and tax. Nothing on this site is personal financial, investment or tax advice, and nothing is a recommendation to buy or sell any investment. We are not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Capital at risk
The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns.
Higher-risk investments
Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs), the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) and the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) invest in small, early-stage companies. They are high-risk, can be hard to sell, and you could lose all the money you invest. Tax reliefs depend on holding periods and other conditions.
Tax rules change
Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in future. We check our tax articles against GOV.UK, HMRC and, for overseas articles, the relevant tax authority, and show the date each article was last updated. Rules may have changed since then.
Accuracy
We take care to make our content accurate, but we cannot guarantee it is complete or up to date. Calculators on this site give estimates only. If you need advice for your situation, speak to an FCA-authorised financial adviser or a qualified tax adviser.
Third-party websites
