SEIS or EIS shares must be held for a minimum of three years to benefit from income tax relief, and as such should be seen as a long-term investment. You must retain your shares until the share termination date shown on your S/EIS certificate. If your shares are sold before you have held them for three years, you will have to inform HMRC and repay any income tax relief you have claimed.
Is there a minimum holding period to claim relief with EIS/SEIS?
