Share Valuation: The Wisdom On Price-Setting For Your Employee Share Schemes
Webinar
Webinar Recording
Background:
Share valuation is a key step in the design and implementation of an employee share scheme for an unquoted company. Tax or fiscal valuations in the UK are subject to special rules which have evolved over time out of a combination of case law and legislation. Whether a valuation is acceptable for tax purposes is ultimately a matter for HMRC.
HMRC’s Shares & Assets Valuation Office reviews and agrees on share valuations for the tax-advantaged employee share schemes, previously known as tax-approved schemes. Since HMRC withdrew its facility for Post-Transaction Valuation Checks and PAYE Health Checks for valuation, it is vital that your valuation is rigorous in order to ensure that it is credible and capable of a robust defence if subsequently challenged by HMRC.
David Craddock, as an expert employee share schemes consultant and expert share valuation consultant, as well as Technical Secretary to the Share Valuation Worked Examples Group (WEG) is well placed to guide us on price setting for Esops.
