Seed capital relief for sole traders

Summary

Brian Walsh asked whether finance legislation would extend seed capital relief to sole traders; the Minister said the Finance Minister was examining the scheme.

The Minister will be the first to agree that the seed capital relief scheme has been very successful in attracting investment in companies. In the context of the finance Bill, does he expect any amendments to be brought forward to allow those provisions to cover sole traders who might wish to avail of a similar relief?

That matter would be better dealt with by way of a parliamentary question.

Yes, it would. All I can say is that the Minister for Finance is examining that particular scheme.
