About SIS
The Seed Investment Scheme (SIS) has been introduced in order to help start-ups raise equity finance.
The Seed Investment Scheme offers incentives in the form of tax credits to individual investors resident in or operating in Malta, who invest in a qualifying Maltese start-up or early stage companies. The scheme offers young entrepreneurs a route to vital funding in the initial stages of their project by effectively minimizing the risk to investors.
Some important points to consider are:
- SIS investors can receive a maximum of €250,000 tax credit in a single tax year,
- A company can raise no more than €750,000 in total via SIS investment.
- Investors can receive up to 35% tax relief in the tax year the investment is made.
- The company seeking investment must be incorporated and based in Malta.
- The company must not have more than 10 employees.
- The company must be no more than three years old.
- The company must have assets of less than €250,000.
Most commercial activities are acceptable for SIS funding, however there are some exclusions:
- Dealing in immovable property, shares, securities and/or other financial instruments; Dealing in goods other than in the normal course of business;
- Carrying on banking, insurance or any other activity covered by the Investment Services Act, the Banking Act, and the Financial Institutions Act;
- Providing legal, accounting or other professional services;
- Activities relating to development of immovable property;
- Receiving royalties or license fees;
- Operating or managing hotels, hostels, guest houses or residential care homes;
- Carrying on activities in connection with the generation of electricity and other energy sources;
- The holding of shares, whether directly or indirectly, in any company which carries out any of the activities listed in any one or more of paragraphs above.
Example: Jenny invests €20,000 in SIS shares in the 2022 to 2023 tax year in SIS. The relief available is €7,000 (€20,000 at 35%). The amount owed for the year (before relief) is €15,000 which she can reduce to €8,000 as a result of her investment.
Example: James invests €20,000 in the 2022 to 2023 tax year in shares. The relief available is €7,000 (€20,000 at 35%). The tax owed for the year (before relief) is €5,500. James can reduce his tax bill to zero as a result of his SIS investment, and carries the rest of the relief available until it is fully absorbed.
