A Complete Guide to Declaring Investment Scheme for Tax Relief

Managing your tax reliefs is a key aspect of UK self-assessment, particularly when it comes to investment schemes like the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR), Community Investment Tax Relief (CITR), and Venture Capital Trusts (VCT). These schemes offer valuable tax reliefs, but they must be accurately recorded to ensure compliance with HMRC requirements.


In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of declaring your investment schemes as income sources within the Pie Tax App. By following our step-by-step instructions, you can easily manage and categorise your investments, making your self-assessment process more straightforward and ensuring that all your tax reliefs are correctly accounted for.
