Executive Tax and Employee Stock Ownership Plans

Employee stock ownership plans (ESOP), stock options and other similar non cash compensation plans can often become the most valuable component of an executive’s remuneration package.

For this reason it is critical that executives understand the current and future personal tax impact of receiving non-cash compensation, whether it be an employee share, stock, unit or option plan, or a cash bonus plan.

CST Tax Advisors works with private clients on the optimization of domestic and internationally managed non-cash compensation plans. We model and compare taxation in multiple jurisdictions to ensure that the triggering of a taxation event with respect to a foreign plan does not result in unintended tax consequences, domestically or abroad.
