What are Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs)?

A Venture Capital Trust (“VCT”) is a tax-efficient investment company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

VCTs were introduced by the Government in 1995 to stimulate investment in smaller UK companies and now have assets of over £6 billion invested. Investors are rewarded with income tax relief and tax-free dividends.

VCTs offer a range of tax advantages that can help your clients maximise their returns while supporting the growth of small UK companies.
