A guide to the tax treatment of executive reward packages, from recruitment to termination. It includes a comprehensive glossary of terms, checklists and flowcharts.
The new edition contains an analysis of: implementation of the Office of Tax Simplification recommendations on approved schemes; the "employee shareholder status" trading employment law rights for CGT relief; and Entrepreneur’s Relief for EMI options. The book has been updated for Finance Act 2013.
Now includes complete work on CD-ROM (with cross-references and website resources hyperlinked) with the printed book.
It covers the broad spectrum of employee reward structures, from the tax-efficient structuring of a termination payment to the complex anti-avoidance rules aimed at share-based remuneration. It provides guidance on the more common salary and benefit arrangements, as well as dealing with areas where unexpected tax charges can arise, particularly in the field of share options and other equity incentives.
