Get SITR | Social Investment Tax Relief

Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) has been extended until 2023. SITR has huge potential to make transformational change for charities and social enterprises across the UK.

Levelling the playing field social enterprises and charities to access finance

Unlike more commercial businesses, many social enterprises and charities cannot access schemes such as the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) to help them raise patient, more affordable and risk-baring capital. Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) was designed to help level the playing field by encouraging people to invest into social enterprises and charities by offsetting the risk to investors.

In the 2021 Spring Budget, SITR was extended until 2021. The extension poses real opportunities for charities and social enterprises looking to raise patient and affordable capital.
