Hi LTI
Thanks.
I understand how an EIS investment works. You claim your 30% tax reducer (based on your investment) in the year that the investment is made. If certain things happen to the company within the three years, HMRC may be able to clawback some or all of the tax saved.
My point is that, to qualify for the 30% tax reducer, the shares that you need to be buying are new subscriber shares, not second hand ones. How does Joe Bloggs get to buy subscriber shares if he doesn't know when they're going to be available, yet the 'privileged' few do.
Not so 'privileged' last time I accept but they're losses are still less (percentage-wise) than the average investor who invested at the same time.
