What is the tax relief an investor obtains? 04
Investors can obtain different tax relief rates under the EIIS (Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme) based on the type of investment:
50% Tax Relief: This rate is available for “initial risk finance” investments in companies that have never operated in any market before.
35% Tax Relief: Investors can avail of a 35% tax relief rate for “initial risk finance” investments in companies that are within 7 years of their first commercial sale or 10 years of incorporation.
20% Tax Relief: This rate applies to both “expansion risk finance” investments, which are eligible when based on a new economic activity outlined in a business plan, and “follow-on risk finance” investments, provided the possibility of follow-on risk finance was included in the initial or expansion risk finance business plan.
BVP expects to achieve a blended rate of 35% on their investment portfolio.
Is the €10,000–€1,000,000 range per fund, or does it apply across all my client's EIIS investments? 05
The €1,000,000 figure is the statutory annual limit set by Revenue — it applies across all EIIS investments your client makes in a calendar year, not just BVP’s fund. If your client also invests in another provider’s EIIS fund in the same year, both investments count toward the same €1m cap. BVP’s €10,000 minimum, however, is specific to our fund.
Can my client invest less than €10,000? 06
No — €10,000 is BVP’s fund-specific minimum, set to keep the fund’s investor base and administration manageable. This is a BVP policy choice, not a Revenue requirement (the statutory minimum under EIIS itself is lower).
Does my client's income level limit how much they can invest? 07
Not directly — there’s no income-based cap on the investment amount itself. However, the tax relief your client can actually use is capped by their income tax liability in that year (see the separate FAQ on liability). A client could invest €50,000 but only have enough tax liability to claim relief on part of it in the current year — the remainder can typically be carried forward
