Tax Considerations When Investing

Investors are offered two types of investment opportunities through the Simple Crowdfunding platform. These are:

Loan Based Investments – showing a ‘BACKING-P2P’ badge on projects on our Simple Crowdfunding Home Page

Equity Based Investments – showing an ‘EQUITY’ badge on projects on our Simple Crowdfunding Home Page

While income and/or profits from both types are potentially taxable, the tax considerations for each type are different and are dealt with separately. To find further information about the tax implications when investing, please go to our Tax Page.

Simple Crowdfunding does not provide tax advice and the statements here are simply guidelines for ordinary UK private investors. If you have any questions about your tax situation, you should contact your tax adviser or local tax office.
