ESOPs are hard – especially so when you haven’t been exposed to many before. Furthermore, like all small business concessions in the tax legislation, the rules and requirements to obtain this relief are extremely complex. Most tech start-ups founders do not have the time (or the willingness – let’s face it, tax can be boring) to verse themselves in tax and corporate law to ensure their ESOP ticks all the relevant boxes. They will have the general idea of how much equity they are willing to part with, and what restrictions they want on vesting (and exercise if options) of these ESOP interests. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6089077f9b3d423216cee371/1627955220388-SYFHE30OALT45USPYH52/andy-holmes-xA26xebY3dw-unsplash.jpg AKL Blog - Employee Incentive Schemes - Start-Ups - When executed correctly, an employee share or option plan (ESOP) is a great way to provide non-cash incentives to employees, which can align the financial upside of both the employee and the business in a tax-effective manner. Where a company can satisfy the start-up concessions available under the tax legislation, it can be a very lucrative end-result. I n some cases, there can be potentially zero tax to pay upon issuing of the options (especially when the start-up hasn’t yet made tangible profits), with any potential gain after being issued the options being taxed on capital account from that time (resulting in the 50% general CGT discount being potentially available from Day 1). https://www.akltax.com.au/akl-blog/mlsblog monthly 0.5 2021-10-15 https://www.akltax.com.au/akl-blog/5nov21taxagent monthly 0.5 2021-11-04 https://www.akltax.com.au/akl-blog/oneyearin monthly 0.5 2022-02-24 https://www.akltax.com.au/akl-blog/techtealtv monthly 0.5 2022-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6089077f9b3d423216cee371/4943afe7-bc94-48c0-8456-a2a6c7e8bc7b/canvateal.JPG AKL Blog - Tech Employee Stock Plans, Teal & Television - Make it stand out Canva - don’t think I’ve forgotten about you.
