IF YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BUY SHARES PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE WE RE-ORGANISE THE WEBSITE AND CHECK BACK IN A FEW DAYS TIME. (18/10/25 we’re still at it — we’d love to sell you a share right now but we have to make sure that the background financial administration is ready, and this takes a bit of time.)
For our first share issue a number of shareholders requested Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR); UTCE was authorised by HMRC to issue all relevant certification.
HMRC closed the SITR scheme half way through our second share issue, meaning that the majority of shareholders would be ineligible. To procure SITR for a minority of shareholders, UTCE would have incurred considerable accountancy fees, quite possibly greater than the tax saving that could have been achieved, so we did not pursue the matter any further.
