EIS has cost the government £3bn in tax relief, so why has it become more generous?

The enterprise investment scheme (EIS) celebrates its silver jubilee this year. Announced by the then chancellor Ken Clarke in the Autumn Budget in 1993, the scheme was launched at the beginning of 1994.
The benefits of the EIS have remained generous – in fact, they’ve become more generous. Until April 2011, the up-front tax relief was 20 per cent. Today it is 30 per cent.
Those aren’t the only benefits: your investments are free of capital gains tax, you get loss relief, and your pot becomes inheritance tax free
