Commentary on Sections Overview Overview Section 241: Information to be provided by the issuing company etc
749.This section requires the issuing company, or certain other persons, to provide information to an officer of Revenue and Customs if certain events occur which could withdraw or reduce EIS relief. It is based on section 310(2), (2A) and (9A) of ICTA.
750.Subsection (1) differs from section 310 of ICTA as it links the provision of a compliance statement to the requirement to give notice of certain events and it refers to events having an effect “if EIS relief had been obtained”. This follows the approach in paragraph 65(1) of Schedule 15 to FA 2000 (corporate venturing scheme). See Change 54 in Annex 1.
751.Subsection (4) also follows the corporate venturing scheme approach and differs from section 310 of ICTA It allows the issuing company to provide notice of one particular event within 60 days of coming to know of that event. See Change 54 in Annex 1.
752.Section 310(3) of ICTA is redundant as it refers to spent legislation and has not been rewritten.
