Time running out for tax efficient solar investment

Published by AdminIanHam at 6:52 pm under Solar Feed In Tariff

The Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is designed to help

smaller higher-risk trading companies to raise finance by

offering a range of tax reliefs to investors who purchase new

shares in those companies. Companies who are AIM and

Plus-quoted are covered in tax terms.

Income tax relief – Provided an EIS qualifying investment is

held for no less than three years an individual can reduce

their income tax liability by an amount equal to 30% of

the amount invested. The minimum subscription is £500

per company and the maximum per investor is £500,000

per annum. Any individuals who have not used their EIS

entitlement in the previous tax year can subscribe for up to

£1,000,000 of EIS qualifying shares in the current tax year

and treat £500,000 as subscribed in the previous year. Over 7

Billion has been raised into EIS companies

across the country since the schemes inception

in 1994. These range from small ‘friends and family’ rounds,

business angel investments where individuals are contributing

skill as well as funding, through to formal public offers and

EIS funds. The market is fragmented and often it is difficult to

find suitable investments or information about the company

or fund managers. The number of more professionally

managed EIS funds now is growing and this sector is

becoming more established.

 

SOLAR POWER

The UK Government has used powers under the Energy Act

2008 to introduce a system of feed in tariffs FIT) to incentivise

small scale, low carbon electricity generation by providing

“clean energy cash back” for householders and expects

an approximate rate of return of up to 8% per annum for

well sited installations, preferably south facing in order to

maximize the power that can be generated.

The Company has secured the purchase of up to 135

Systems which will have been installed prior to 12th

December 2011 via Solar Power companies within the UK for

free. This guarantees Tax Free FiT payments for 25 years.

The Company intends to use the money raised by this private

placing to acquire the Systems from Solar Power companies

for £18,000 per System.

However, due to the fantastic returns and the great high take up

of the opportunity the Government has

decided to reduce the Fee in Tariff from 43p to 21p. Again we

planned ahead to secure a further 1,000Premium Solar Systems which

will generate the exact same benefits & guaranteed returns due to the volume

related discounts secured from the high numbers of systems purchased on your behalf.

30% Tax Relief on their investment, guarantee returns of 5%

to 8% Tax Free for 25 years, comes with 100% Inheritance

Government loses solar appeal

Published by AdminIanHam at 5:50 pm under Solar Feed In Tariff,UK Green Policy

The Court of Appeal today (Wednesday 25 January 2012) unanimously rejected Government attempts to overturn last month’s High Court ruling that its plans to rush through sudden cuts to solar tariff payments are illegal.

The Government is now seeking permission to appeal to the Supreme Court. Friends of the Earth says the move will create yet more uncertainty for solar firms and after two courts have ruled their move illegal is urging Ministers to concentrate on safeguarding the industry rather than wasting more time and money on further appeals.

The High Court ruled shortly before Christmas that Government plans to cut payments for any solar scheme completed after 12 December – 11 days before the official consultation closed – were unlawful. The judgement followed legal challenges brought by Friends of the Earth and two solar firms, Solarcentury and HomeSun, last month.

Today’s judgement will prevent Ministers rushing through cuts to feed-in tariff payments in future, restoring some confidence to the UK’s clean energy industry. But Friends of the Earth warns that unless Ministers change other parts of their solar subsidy proposals, up to 29,000 jobs could be lost.

Friends of the Earth is urging Ministers to find more money – paid for from tax payments the industry generates – to safeguard the long-term stability of the solar industry. The environmental campaigning charity is also calling for crucial amendments to proposed Government solar payment changes, including re-examining over-strict energy efficiency rules that will prevent 90 per cent of houses from claiming solar subsidies.

Today’s ruling means that, subject to any further appeal to the Supreme Court, solar tariff payments will remain at 43.3p (p/kWh) until 3 March 2012 when – following Government moves last week – they will fall to 21 pence.

Friends of the Earth’s Executive Director Andy Atkins said:

“This landmark judgement confirms that devastating Government plans to rush through cuts to solar payments are illegal – and will prevent Ministers from causing industry chaos with similar cuts in future.

“The Government must now take steps to safeguard the UK’s solar industry and the 29,000 jobs still facing the chop.

“Ministers must abandon plans to tighten the screw on which homes qualify for solar payments – and use the massive tax revenues generated by solar to protect the industry.

“Helping more people to plug into clean British energy will help protect cash-strapped households from soaring fuel bills.”
