Unlock 50% Income Tax Relief While Investing in Ireland's Social Infrastructure
The Quintas EIIS Fund gives investors access to professionally managed opportunities in Irish social infrastructure — with the benefit of generous income tax relief. We are one of only three Designated Investment Funds authorised by the Irish Revenue Commissioners and the Central Bank of Ireland.
At a Glance
The Employment and Investment Incentive Scheme
EIIS is a government-backed programme that allows individual investors to reduce their income tax liability when investing in qualifying Irish SMEs. Unlike many other tax reliefs, EIIS covers total income — including salary, rental income, and tax on employee share options — making it one of the most powerful ways to reduce your tax bill while supporting Irish enterprise.
Tax relief is available at three levels depending on the stage of the business:
50% Tax Relief - brand new businesses not yet commenced trading (pre-revenue).
35% Tax Relief - established trading companies, having been incorporated within the last 10 years or having made its first commercial sale in the last 7 years.
20% Tax Relief - older companies raising funds for expansion into new products or markets (Expansion Risk Finance).
The Quintas EIIS Fund exclusively targets 50% tax relief opportunities. Our 2024 Fund was the first to achieve this.
