Template letters: Save Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR)

Due to a sunset clause in the legislation, SITR will be retired by April 2021 unless action is taken now to extend it. 

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, will announce a decision on SITR’s future in the next budget on 3 March 2021.

If your organisation benefited from SITR when you ran your community share offer – or you’re planning to run a share offer in future – this is your chance to secure this support for the future.
