Many companies, particularly multinational companies operating in Ireland, operate an ESPP which enables employees to purchase shares in their employer, normally at a discounted price. The purchase is funded through deductions from the employee’s net salary over a period of time and the discount granted is normally 15% of the market value of the shares at the date of granting the ESPP.

However, the receipt and sale of these ESPP's can trigger taxable events and employees should be aware of their individual tax obligations when it comes to these shares - Relevant tax on share options(RTSO) at the time of purchase and potentially capital gains tax (CGT) at the time of sale.

Jim Stapleton of Eolas Money will outline the most commonly asked questions when it comes to the RTSO and CGT due on ESPP's.

The zoom webinar will commence at 12.30pm on Thursday 09th June and the zoom link will be emailed to all registered attendees on the morning of the webinar.
