HM Treasury has launched a consultation on the expansion of social investment tax relief and a new relief for social investment via an intermediary.

The plans aim to gather views on how to increase the investment limit and bring in a wider range of investors while keeping the relief well targeted and effective and minimising opportunities for tax avoidance. The consultation document also requests opinions on the approach to community farms, renewable energy and social impact bonds.
