Re: How it works:-
Sorry, you're incorrect.
We pay full income tax, employees National insurance AND employers national insurance on our vesting shares. (We have to sign a waiver when we start)
E.g. If I have 10 shares vest, I only actually get 4 (plus some cash change) because 51% goes to the tax man.
Trust me, the employees are most certainly not getting off lightly... We're rather getting thoroughly screwed by the HMRC.
AC for obvious reasons.
