Help us by taking action to save SITR!
‘Due to a sunset clause in the legislation, SITR will be retired by April 2021 unless action is taken now to extend it.
Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) is a tax incentive for individuals making an investment into an eligible charity or social enterprise, this includes Community Benefit Societies running community share offers. Investors can claim back 30% of their investment from HMRC which of course encourages them to invest more into their community.’ -Coop Website
What does SITR (Social Investment Tax Relief) have to do with October Books you may ask?
Well, our long term plan is to convert to a Community Benefit Society and issue community shares. If SITR is retired this April as proposed, all you lovely supporters won't be able to claim back the tax on your investment.
