A Growing Market, Ready for Innovation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum investment?

The minimum investment is €5,000, and you'll receive ordinary shares in return.

What tax relief can I get?

You may claim up to 50% income tax relief on your investment under the EIIS scheme, depending on eligibility and Revenue rules.

Who qualifies for EIIS tax relief?

Any Irish taxpayer with qualifying income — including PAYE workers, landlords, and self-employed individuals — can claim EIIS relief.

How do I actually get the tax relief?

Once we complete fundraising and receive our RICT number from Revenue, we'll issue a Statement of Qualification (SOQ). You include this with your tax return to claim the relief.

When can I claim my relief?

You can claim it in the tax year following the issue of the SOQ. For example, if the SOQ is issued in 2025, you claim in your 2025 tax return (filed in 2026).

How long do I have to hold the shares?

EIIS shares must be held for a minimum of four years to qualify for tax relief.

Is SwingZone approved by Revenue?

SwingZone operates under the self-certified EIIS model introduced in 2019. We will obtain an official RICT number once fundraising is complete.

What are the risks involved?

As with any early-stage business, there are risks. While EIIS provides generous tax relief, your capital is at risk and returns are not guaranteed.

Let's Build It Together

We're now welcoming expressions of interest from private investors looking to support a purpose-built indoor/outdoor golf and activity venue in South Dublin.
