EMI Share Scheme

EMI share scheme and share options

An Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) scheme is one type of HMRC approved business share scheme. Approved schemes are ones which aim to support businesses grow by offering tax advantages, so long as eligibility requirements are met. The purpose of EMI schemes is to help businesses recruit and retain employees by offering them the opportunity to purchase shares in the company for a fixed price which may be worth significantly more in the future. Not only that but shares that have been purchased through an EMI scheme may qualify for tax relief and companies can also receive tax benefits through reducing their corporation tax once shares have been sold.
