The Tax Institute Submission | Venture Capital Tax Concessions Review
Published on 15 Sep 21 by THE TAX INSTITUTE
The venture capital tax concessions programs seek to increase the level of venture capital investments in Australia and develop the skills and experience of Australian venture capital fund managers. The programs also aim to promote a culture of innovation and entrepreneurial risk-taking, by incentivising the use of investment vehicles dedicated to early-stage and later-stage start-ups and
improving access to more and cheaper financing for these types of businesses. The programs encompass three types of investment structures that provide concessional treatment for venture capital investors. These structures are:
- early-stage venture capital limited partnerships (ESVCLPs)
- venture capital limited partnerships (VCLPs); and
- Australian Funds of Funds (AFOFs),
The Tax Institute is of the view that the programs have had a positive impact on the growth of Australian venture capital, and have played a significant part in creating a vibrant start-up environment in Australia. The substantial impact of the programs on the Australian market could not have been anticipated at the time of their inception.
