Finance Act 2015

Part 4

8.Part 4 of the Schedule makes further provision on excluded activities for the EIS (and the SEIS by virtue of section 257DA of ITA 2007) and VCTs. However, unlike the changes in Parts 2 and 3 of the Schedule, the changes in Part 4 will take effect on a date specified by HM Treasury regulations.

9.Paragraphs 10 and 11 of the Schedule make provision to remove the exception that currently allows all types of subsidised energy generation activities by certain types of community organisations to qualify for the venture capital schemes.

10.The effect of paragraphs 10 and 11, taken together with Parts 2 and 3 of the Schedule, will be to exclude all activities involving subsidised energy generation from the EIS, SEIS and VCTs.

11.Paragraph 13 of the Schedule makes provision to amend the list of excluded activities for SITR. The export or generation of electricity subsidised by way of a Feed-in Tariff will no longer be an excluded activity.
