Employee Share Incentives Tax Return ?
For many employees, receiving share incentives such as share options and restricted stock units (RSUs) is an exciting opportunity to enhance their financial well-being. However, it's crucial to understand the taxable consequences associated with these incentives when they vest. In this blog, we will explore the basics of income tax on employee share incentives, including calculations to help you navigate their taxable implications and make informed financial decisions.
RSU Tax Return
Restricted Stock Units (RSU's) :
RSUs are actual shares granted to employees that are subject to certain vesting conditions, typically based on time served with the company. Upon vesting, the employee is considered the legal owner of the shares, and income tax obligations arise.
Example:
Suppose you were granted 500 RSUs, and they vested after four years. At the time of vesting, the market price per share is £30.
To calculate the taxable benefit, you would multiply the market price per share by the number of RSUs vested:
Similar to share options, the taxable benefit of £15,000 would be treated as employment income and subject to your applicable income tax rate.
Withholding Taxes:
When your share incentives vest, your employer may withhold taxes on your behalf to cover the income tax obligations associated with the taxable benefits. The amount withheld is typically based on prescribed rates determined by tax authorities.
It's important to review your payslip to ensure proper withholding and avoid any surprises during tax filing season. If the withholding amount is insufficient, you may need to make additional tax payments to fulfill your obligations.

Share Options for Employees
Share options provide employees the right to purchase company shares at a predetermined price (the exercise price) within a specified timeframe. When share options vest, the taxable event occurs, and the employee becomes liable for income tax.
Calculation Example:Let's assume you were granted 1,000 share options with an exercise price of £10 per share, and they vested after three years. At the time of vesting, the current market price is £20 per share.
To calculate the taxable benefit, you would multiply the difference between the market price and the exercise price by the number of options vested:
This £10,000 would be treated as employment income and subject to your applicable income tax rate.
