The tax incentives for early stage investors have been legislated and implemented from 1 July 2016. This legislation will allow investors to qualify for two separate tax incentives if they invest in Australian Innovation companies.The end result is that an investor will qualify for two incentives:
- When they invest they will be eligible to an immediate 20% of their investment value as a non refundable tax offset capped at $200,000.
- When they dispose of their investments they may be exempt from any Capital Gains Tax as long as certain time related conditions are satisfied.
