In simple words, if a person invest a total of £100 in the venture capital trust shares and his annual tax amount also costs about £100, the investment in the VCT shares will reduce his tax amount by 30% which simply means that he has to pay only £70 instead of £100.

The only thing which is a problem for the
investors and stops them from making investments in the VCT's is the
high risk of loss to them. They do not prefer it sometimes because
the money which is invested is to be used by the non-listed and high
risk taking small companies. However, it is a point to be noted that
the government has increased the investment opportunities of EIS than
the VCT's which can simply cause of a decrease in the VCT shares.
If you are looking to make an investment in VCT or
EIS, you should make sure about the suitability according to the last
budget report from the government. If you think that making an
investment in the EIS will earn you more than the VCT's, then you
should go with it. It is also a good idea to consult your financial
advisor of you are having problems in making a choice between VCT's
and EIS. There is no doubt that it will be a worthy step towards
getting your money into circulation with a right way.
