It’s important to note that:
There’s no investment limit BUT because the maximum tax offset is $200,000, it makes sense $1M is the ‘line in the sand’ for investors
The Benefits To You Of The ESIC Program
What’s the ESIC tax incentive?
Broadly, ESIC is a tax incentive to encourage investment in early-stage innovation companies with high-growth potential. Although legislated in July 2016, the ESIC incentive is still not widely understood.
ESIC offers investors two incentives:
A non-refundable carry forward tax offset equal to 20% of the amount paid for their eligible investments. This is capped at a maximum tax offset amount of $200,000.
Modified capital gains tax (CGT) treatment, under which capital gains on qualifying shares that are continuously held for at least 12 months and less than 10 years may be disregarded. Capital losses on shares held less than 10 years must be disregarded.

Hear From The People We Helped
Finding out that I could help others and get money back was amazing. I was also surprised at how easy the process was.
I would highly recommend a chat with David, to see what ESIC can do for you and to customise your own plan.

I am always looking for ways to minimise my tax and after selling my investment property was really frustrated with how much I was going to have to pay. It wasn’t until I met David and he explained to me about the ESIC program that I was amazed as to how many people had not heard about the program or really understood how it worked. Even my accountant learned something new. I have since received my Notice of Assessment and I’m happy to say that I will be saving one hundred thousand (100,000) as well as getting involved in an exciting project.
