Employee Share Schemes are part of the Employee Incentive Program toolkit. They must be carefully designed to ensure that any resulting taxation consequences are appropriate and understood by all. Poorly designed Employee Share Schemes can result in staff receiving equity as well as unfunded tax liabilities, which can defeat the purpose of the incentive program.
