@taxunwrapped: Most people think giving shares is tax-efficient. Often, it isn't. Unless a relief applies, Revenue generally treats company shares as employment income. That can create an immediate income tax, USC and PRSI bill. Fortunately, there are alternatives. ✔ Approved Share Schemes can provide up to €12,700 of shares each year tax-free. ✔ KEEP can avoid upfront income tax altogether, with tax generally deferred until disposal, provided the qualifying conditions are met. ✔ Restricted Shares can reduce the taxable value by up to 60% where genuine legal restrictions apply. The correct choice depends on the size of the share award, ownership levels and the company's objectives. Get the structure wrong and the tax cost can be significant.
