Jane Lambert

I have just received an email from Modwenna Rees-Mogg of Angel News that the 2013 VCT and EIS forum will take place on 26 Nov 2013 at 200 Aldersgate.

According to Angel News "the VCT and EIS Investor Forum is the UK's must-attend event for VCT and EIS investors and the fund management community." The announcement continues:

"The VCT and EIS Investor Forum is the only live event in the UK focused on bringing hundreds of private investors and IFA's to meet the VCT and EIS fund management community on one day and in one place. Our 2012 event saw350 delegates come together in central London to hear from industry experts, gain educational insight, participate in exciting debates, enjoy quality networking and hear from some excellent keynote speakers."

You will see from the agenda that there are some interesting topics presented by some well known speakers including Martha Lane Fox.

If you want to find out more about the event please contact fuchsia@angelnews.co.uk or call  01761 452 248.  If you want to go you can register through the organizer's Eventbrite site.

Also, my colleague Anne Fairpo will be one of the speakers at the AIPPI's seminar "The Patent Box and ATL credits: The First Six Months - A Success?" which will take place at the offices of  Carpmaels & Ransford on the 14 Oct 2013 at 17:30.

The other speaker will be Kevin Phillips, International Tax Partner at Baker Tilly.

According to the AIPPI's website the course is directed at all levels of practitioners with an interest in intellectual property and will provide them with an understanding of the current issues and future potential directions concerning the patent box and ATL credits.

I hope to be there.

Fairpo on Tax Planning for the Patent Box

Building on our success with our Patent Box Roadshow in Leeds, Liverpool and London we are looking at the concession in rather more detail. Our colleague Anne Fairpo of Atlas Tax Chambers will discuss tax planning for the patent box at Liverpool in London on the 13 Sept 2013 between 12:00 and 14:30.

Anne is an authority on the patent box and IP and taxation generally. She edits the Intellectual Property Tax blog. Her publications include Taxation of Intellectual Property which is already in its third edition and the chapter on tax in Copinger & Skone James on Copyright.

Supporting Anne will be our good friends Barbara Cookson of Filemot Technology Law and Michael Sandys of Broudie Jackson Canter who will discuss patenting and licensing respectively.   Afterwards you will get a chance to meet the speakers over refreshments.   The event is free but space is limited so you must book in advance.   You can do so by so  by clicking the link here,

Liverpool in London is unofficially called "the Liverpool embassy",   You will find it on the second floor of the Johnson Smirke Building at 4 Royal Mint Court, London, EC3N 4HJ. It is not easy to find and there is no signage so give yourself plenty of time.  We look forward to seeing you there.
