I'm from Europe. I don't have to pay taxes from RSUs before I have actually sold the stock, even if it's vested and neither do I have to pay any taxes on options until I have made actual profit from them.
But yes, I do wonder if it will direct a lot of negotiations into the more "benefits" section of the thing.
Interesting, obviously I must be in other EU country, or laws have changed, but here it was mandatory to pay taxes from vested RSUs.
At the point of vesting and at what price point? Price at vesting?
The original thread was about options, not RSUs. Not sure if it makes a difference.
Does your country not tax unrealised capital gains? Or fictional gains? Mine does.
