INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS
How can I take part in encouraging business innovation through European funds for fostering innovation?
Individual investors may not invest directly in ELTIF funds, but they may nevertheless obtain the right to deduct the personal income tax rate on European funds for fostering innovation when they deposit amounts at credit institutions in accounts opened for the sole purpose of ensuring that the amount is used by the financial institution to acquire stakeholdings in an ELTIF to foster innovation.
