The government says it has no plans to offer tax relief to people who invest in local companies.
Yesterday in Tynwald, Treasury Minister Alf Cannan was quizzed on the issue by Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper.

But Mr Cannan said the government was already supporting local businesses:
Special healthcare recruiting event this summer
Date set for flagship maritime industry event
14th Aviation Conference takes place this week
Financial Intelligence Unit releases guide on spotting modern slavery
Total of 70 ships and companies sanctioned over Ukraine war
New stamps celebrate Island supercar culture
