Great video, My partner lives in the UK and works as a senior executive for a giant US tech company. He is receiving a large amount of RSUs (well in excess of $1M in value) as part of his employee compensation which are vesting every month over a period of 4 years. If he holds onto them, and they increase in value, would he have to pay capital gains tax on the difference between the price at vesting vs price at sale? Seems a bit unfair to pay a double tax. Also, do you have any offices in the UK or know any advisors. Many thanks.
@@georginathompson3788 Hi Georgina, thanks for your comment! RSUs are taxed as ordinary income when employee receives it. And yes, if the stock price increases & is sold, then the gain is subject to capital gains tax. The question is whether it's smart to hold on to the stock after vesting or not. We have clients in the US who have moved to the UK for a job. If you'd like to talk more, can you choose a time via this link: calendly.com/districtcapital
Just subscribed, needed to know about RSUs
Anyone out there have a good or bad experience with RSUs?
