Share Options

A share option arrangement is usually implemented to provide a positive employee benefit in addition to salary. One additional benefit is that employees feel more involved with the sponsoring company.

The problems come when employees have questions regarding their options. What was designed as a rewarding additional remuneration mechanism can quickly become a heavy burden on the HR Department. For example, how do you currently deal with questions like:

• What exactly is the tax position on my different options?
• I need to reduce my mortgage. Can I exercise some options and sell shares without a tax charge?
• Can I transfer shares into my spouses name?
• Can I transfer shares into an ISA or Pension Scheme to help protect future growth from tax?
• Is there a website I can go to which will help me plan around my share options?

We can set up one to one sessions, group seminars, telephone/email helplines and web-based frequently asked questions on a password protected website.

For each of our clients we devise bespoke solutions to suit your individual needs and budget, which are based upon our core services.
