From 1 July 2015, changes to Australia’s employee share scheme taxation regime will reduce the risk of employees being hit with unfunded tax liabilities by:

  • permitting taxing points to be deferred for longer periods; and
  • introducing a significant tax concession for eligible start-ups’ employee share schemes.
