Employee Share Plans and Share Option Plans in Times of Economic Uncertainty

Source: New South Wales

Published Date: 25 Nov 2008

 
Employee share plans and share option plans are a significant element in employee remuneration packages. This event focused on such plans in the context of listed entities and multinational entities. The event addressed taxation issues and consequences of involvement in such plans for employees and accounting and taxation issues and consequences for employers. Recent legislative changes and the present highly uncertain nature of share prices make this an area that needs refocusing to ensure that informed decisions are being made for and by clients.

This event was aimed at anyone:

  • involved in negotiating or re-negotiating employee remuneration packages
  • advising employees with or expecting shares or share options under employee share plans or share option plans
  • responsible for advising employers in respect of the implementation of or retention of employee share plans or share option plans
  • responsible for the maintenance of employee share plans or share option plans on behalf of employers, including the accounting consequences and the impact of taxes other than income tax
  • wanting a good background to how employee share benefits and share option benefits are taxed in Australia.
