Overview of measure
In light of the drive for digital and ICT type businesses, perhaps small digital start-up companies may be
inclined to seek to fund their growth strategy by listing on the exchange while also benefiting from the tax
holiday and then a reduced rate of corporation tax. The benefit being that by the time the tax break expires,
these businesses should have grown into larger entities thereby contributing more to government revenues
than they would have, had they not received the financing they needed at an earlier stage in their lifecycle.
This initiative should be reviewed periodically to ensure it encourages SMEs to explore equity financing
especially since it is likely to be less onerous than debt obligations to third party financiers who tend to take
priority over assets.
