Abstract

The Tax Laws Amendment (Tax Incentives for Innovation) Act 2016 introduced two new tax incentives for 'angel investors' in Early Stage Innovation Companies ('ESICs' - a 20% tax offset and a 'modified CGT treatment' for gains or losses on their investment. Qualifying for the incentives requires action by both the company and the investors and the incentives can be lost if the Act's requirements are not met. The paper examines the incentives and problems with the legislation that linmit the extent to which the Act is likely to achieve its aims.
