walshemj··on Why do 70% of families lose their wealth in the 2nd generation? (2018)
Its well known that family companies have difficulty lasting more than three generations exceptions Like Bacardi and Charles Wells are rare.

as the site says "The UK tax treatment for RSUs is similar to how your salary is taxed."

The example shown on the site you quote has a 56.53% effective rate - don't forget you pay NI as well

As I said very poor I paid zero tax on my two share saves and my current EMI is at the 10% rate.

Update the 56.5% rate is after you put 20k into pension the actual rate is just under 70%

As you say your getting a much better tax advantage and can use capital Gains to reduce the tax rate.

Though compared to the US the UK has much better treatment of "employee" share schemes. The most common Sharesave is effectively a risk free investment at a 20% discount.

I am surprised if the Google union hasn't got fairer treatment of stock options on its agenda and I do mean for all employees.

Really compare that to my dad and my uncles having to evacuated as the family house got hit by the Luftwaffe (lived near the biggest spitfire plant in the UK)
