Webinar Overview

In this Professional Adviser webinar, Triple Point and our panel of experts will explore the implications for advisers and their clients of key VCT changes announced in the Autumn Budget.

We will discuss the longer-term implications of plans to reduce upfront income tax relief from 30% to 20% from April 2026, while expanding the VCT investment limits and increasing the size of companies VCTs can invest in.

In particular, what will these changes mean for advisers when planning for this tax year and the next? What role can VCTs continue to play in advisers’ toolkits and how can they help deliver good customer outcomes?

We will also be drilling down into expanded opportunities for investment managers running VCTs, how the market is evolving and how advisers can conduct effective due diligence on the vehicles.
