Office of Tax Simplification: review of unapproved share schemes
Download the full outcome
Detail of outcome
The Government intends to proceed with the changes proposed in the consultation. Where appropriate, draft legislation for Finance Bill 2014 was published on 10 December 2013.
On the valuation of listed company shares, respondents made a number of additional suggestions which may have potential to provide further simplification in this area. HMRC is evaluating these suggestions further in consultation with its Employment-Related Securities Stakeholder Forum and the OTS.
Some of the recommendations made by the OTS in its report were not included within this consultation, for example because they could be taken forward without consultation or because further time was required to assess the proposal. Where appropriate, an update on these recommendations can be found in Chapter 3.
