Company Share Option Plans: mini-Budget announcements

In a move not widely anticipated, the UK Government has announced that the maximum award under the Company Share Option Plan (CSOP) is being increased. With effect from 6 April 2023, employees will be allowed to hold options of up to £60,000 of shares, a doubling of the current £30,000 limit which has been in place for almost thirty years.

In the latest Stephenson Harwood briefing by employee incentives experts Nicholas Stretch and Gruffydd Ellis, the pair considers what a CSOP is, what favourable tax treatment CSOP offers, and whether much will change because of the increase. To find out more, please click here.
