STOP PRESS - 18 Aug 2009

The Finance Act 2009 is changing the tax landscape and the biggest impact for certain taxpayers is the rise in the top rate of income tax to 50% from next April. The incentive to convert income into capital gains attracting CGT at 18% or zero if EIS qualified is therefore heightened. Investors are continuing to take advantage of the tax benefits of direct investment, and are increasingly becoming more certain and confident in their own judgement when it comes to making the investment decision, resulting in a rise in direct angel activity and a lowering of investments into funds, VCT’s etc. Interestingly, we are also seeing more activity from investors wishing to provide finance through loan capital to companies - either on a high coupon or more often as convertible loan stock.

We include below a selection of new investment opportunities, if you would like to see the full list either contact us or see a full list on our website http://www.investmentforgrowth.co.uk/opportunities.php
