Global share plans |
As companies continue to extend their reach around the globe, so does the practice of offering incentive arrangements to overseas employees.
Deloitte’s global share plans team in London is supported by an established worldwide network of Deloitte specialists to deliver a unique and seamless approach to help companies in the implementation and management of their global share plan arrangements.
Issues and trends
Designing, implementing and communicating global share plans can be complex and daunting due to the differences that exist in tax, legal and accounting systems and the cultural and corporate governance environment in each country.
The design of a global share plan is the key to its success – it must be attractive to the employees, practical to manage and represent good value for the company’s shareholders.
Our solutions
Whether the objective is to increase employee share ownership, reduce the cost of operating a global plan, or deal with a corporate event such as a takeover or merger, Deloitte has developed a range of proven solutions to:
- Understand the tax, securities and employment law issues impacting the operation of share plans in overseas jurisdictions
- Increase employee understanding and participation through effective communication
- Reduce the employer and employee tax and social security burden
- Improve cash flow through increased or earlier tax deductions
- Enhance compliance, thereby minimising potential for non-compliance penalties
- Support smooth administration.
