VSOP (Virtual Stock Options Plan) is an employee incentive program that provides virtual or phantom stock options to employees, simulating the value of real stock options, without giving any real ownership or voting rights. Since VSOPs usually do not enjoy any favourable tax treatment, the calculation assumes that the payment is treated as a bonus and taxed as a salary.
We do our best to give you the most accurate and current info, but remember that the outcome might vary based on your own personal situation. This isn't tax advice in any way. So please make sure to consider your own circumstances!

What are stock options?
They are a financial instrument that give a right to buy shares in the company in the future at a fixed price. They are commonly used as incentives for employees, allowing them to purchase company shares at a predetermined and often advantageous price. The value of stock options can change based on how well the company is doing.

How can I get money from my stock options?
You can get money when you sell your shares. First, you need to wait for them to vest and then you need to buy them, after which you can sell them.If the company is successful, it will be possible to sell the shares at a higher price than the price you bought them for, thus enjoying financial rewards.

What are the risks associated with options?

Are stock options taxed?
Yes, typically, the gains from options are taxed. What taxes and at which point they should be paid, depends on certain factors, for example, how long you hold the shares, what the strike price was, where you are a tax resident or in which country you work. In more complex cases, it is a good idea to consult with a tax professional to help you to understand your tax obligations.
