CONSULTATION: OFFICE OF TAX SIMPLIFICATION: REVIEW OF UNAPPROVED SHARE SCHEMES

28 May 2013

HMRC has launched a consultation on the five recommendations that were made by the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) in its review of non-tax advantaged (or ‘unapproved’) employee share schemes. The consultation OTS: Review of Unapproved Share Schemes was launched on the 24 May and is hoping to hear from employers and employees who provide or receive employment- related securities (such as shares), their advisers and representatives, and payroll and share scheme administrators and will run until the 16 August 2013.

Further views and evidence are been sought on potential impacts of the OTS’s recommendations in relation to:

 share for share exchanges and rollovers;  the availability of corporation tax relief following takeover of a company;  the taxation of ERS awarded to internationally mobile employees;  section 222 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (ITEPA), and the rules concerning the ‘making good’ of amounts paid by an employer in respect of tax on ERS; and  the valuation rules for listed company shares.
