Employee Equity & Incentive Tax

Tax design and settlement for equity plans such as share options, RSUs and phantom shares. We structure plans so the taxable moment and rate are clear for participants, and keep employer reporting and withholding in order.

What this covers

  • Tax treatment of ESOP, share options, RSUs and phantom shares
  • Timing of the taxable event and applicable PIT rate
  • Qualification under the preferential capital-gains treatment for share schemes
  • Employer withholding and reporting obligations on plan events
  • Plan documentation reviewed for tax efficiency
  • Cross-border participant taxation and sourcing rules
  • Social security (ZUS) exposure on incentive awards
  • Valuation and taxable-benefit analysis at grant, vesting and exercise
  • Founder and key-employee rollover on a transaction
  • PIT-8C and information reporting for participants
  • Coordination with corporate ESOP governance and cap table
  • Participant communications on tax consequences
  • Exit-event modelling for plan holders
