VCM15130 | EIS: income tax relief: withdrawal or reduction of EIS relief: procedure: overview

Where the officer dealing with the affairs of a company becomes aware that relief falls to be withdrawn he or she will need to notify the tax offices dealing with the individuals concerned. The correct office can be identified from the forms EIS3 or EIS3(Internal) received (see VCM14120).

The notification will need to include the following details:

• the reason for the withdrawal,

• the amount to be withdrawn, if not the whole of the relief

• the year in which the shares to which the relief relates were issued

• the EIS relief must be withdrawn or reduced for the tax year for which the income tax relief was obtained

• the reckonable date for interest (see VCM15160).
