Balancing Risk & Reward — Quantifying the risk of Capital Gains Tax reform to the UK startup ecosystem

We recently ran a survey on the proposed changes to Capital Gains Tax, gathering data to allow a more informed approach to the discussion of these proposals, and their potential effects on the UK entrepreneurial ecosystem.

We’ve now published the full results from this survey in a free report. Alongside them, we provide our thoughts on a potential solution to protect this vital part of the economy.

Given that UK startups and scaleups collectively employ over 3.5m people, across 40k companies, the impact of these changes on the UK’s small businesses would be catastrophic. Combined with the effects of Brexit, the UK would risk losing its crown as the startup capital of Europe.
