      The appeal of tax-advantaged investment schemes such as enterprise investment schemes (EIS) and venture capital trusts (VCTs) is worth considering, but there are many factors to bear in mind.

      While there are many attractive tax reliefs attached to EIS and VCTs, making them useful tax-planning tools, they can be sometimes complicated, higher-risk investments, and careful thought is always needed before recommending them to clients.

      Contributors include: Jason Hollands, managing director for business and communications at Tilney Bestinvest; John Glencross, chief executive of Calculus Capital; George Bull, senior tax partner for RSM UK; The Association of Investment Companies; the EIS Association; HM Revenue & Customs; Mark Brownridge, director at Mazars; Ben Thompson, group marketing director, and Hugi Clarke, infrastructure investment manager for the Foresight Group; and Paul Sheehan, investment manager for WH Ireland.
