ClimateTech alert! Final week to invest in Carbon13 SEIS VII Fund

The fund will close to investment on 7 March, offering a final chance for those looking to claim SEIS income tax relief for 2024/25 or use the carryback option to apply the relief to the previous tax year.

Tax relief benefits for investors

The Carbon13 SEIS VII Fund is structured to allow investors to benefit from the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS), which provides significant tax reliefs. Eligible investors can take advantage of:-

• 50 per cent income tax relief on up to £200,000
• 50 per cent capital gains tax relief
• 100 per cent capital gains disposal relief
• 100 per cent inheritance tax relief.

These tax incentives make SEIS an attractive option for investors looking to support early-stage companies while reducing their tax liability.

Driving impact through ClimateTech innovation

The Carbon13 SEIS VII Fund will create a portfolio of pioneering ClimateTech companies that have successfully progressed through Carbon13's venture builder programmes.

These companies are dedicated to developing innovative solutions to tackle urgent environmental challenges, including the impact of fossil fuel consumption and the decline in air and water quality.

By investing in these startups, investors will contribute to efforts aimed at mitigating climate change and fostering sustainable alternatives for the future of the planet.

Strong returns in a growing sector

Investment in UK-based ClimateTech companies surged by 24 per cent in 2024, reaching a total of £4.5 billion. AI-driven ClimateTech startups saw an even more dramatic increase, with investment rising by 128 per cent to hit £1.01bn.

According to PwC, UK-based startups attracted 22 per cent of all global investment into AI-related ClimateTech initiatives.

As climate change continues to be an urgent global issue, the demand for solutions in this sector is expected to grow, presenting significant opportunities for investors. With the UK fostering a favourable environment for ClimateTech and AI innovation, investment in this sector remains highly attractive.

Last chance to invest

With the deadline approaching on 7 March, interested investors are encouraged to act quickly to secure their place in the Carbon13 SEIS VII Fund. This is a unique opportunity to build a portfolio of high-potential ClimateTech companies while benefiting from the generous tax reliefs offered under SEIS.
