UK ISA consultation
Creative UK intends to respond to the Treasury’s consultation on the UK ISA scheme announced at the Spring Budget. This would allow individuals to save £5,000 which will be invested exclusively within UK businesses on top of their standard £20,000 ISAs, and could go some way to give creative Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) more investment. The UK Government is considering multiple types of investment which may be supported by the UK ISA scheme; of note are collective investment vehicles, which allow for investment into a portfolio of companies and may benefit creative SMEs at the discretion of private investors. We intend to respond to the consultation and support the inclusion of this measure. If you would like to input, please contact policy@wearecreative.uk no later than Friday 31 May.
