Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the impact of her Budget in 2024 on the performance of AIM shares.

The UK’s capital markets play a key role in delivering on the government’s growth mission. We have already delivered an ambitious set of reforms to make it easier for firms to start, scale, list and stay on UK markets, and capital markets are a core pillar of the Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy, launched at Mansion House.

The Government maintains a range of targeted tax reliefs for AIM shares, supporting capital raising for business listed on AIM, and investors in AIM shares. This supports growth on the broader UK economy.
