About This Course

Many employers help their employees take an equity stake in their business, often without understanding the tax implications or even realizing it creates tax obligations. Inland Revenue is currently actively checking whether taxpayers are meeting their tax obligations when issuing shares to employees or receiving shares from their employer.

Tax obligations can arise if your clients or you are:

  • Giving employees shares in a business,
  • Selling employees shares in return for a loan,
  • Selling employees shares at less than market value,
  • Selling employees shares at market value, 
  • Providing employees with share options.

This webinar will outline the tax implications and obligations for both the employer and the employee. It will also address what to do if you have not complied with these obligations.

 

Suitable for: Those advising, managing the finance function, or owning a small to medium business where an employee has been provided an equity stake within the last four years or is about to be provided equity.
