Employee Share Ownership - Information for employers
Substantial changes to the taxation laws governing employee share schemes have been announced in the 2008-09 Budget. These changes are not reflected in the information provided on this site or in the 'Getting Started' kits. You should therefore seek information and advice from a suitably qualified tax professional.
Employee share ownership plans (ESOP) can help align employee and employer interests, act as a motivational tool and improve organisational productivity, efficiency and competitiveness when used appropriately.
ESOPs can be used in any business - even those that are not listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. There are a variety of ways that ESOPs can be set up and tailored to suit businesses of all sizes and types.
