As a compliment to other motivational factors, financial incentives have often proved successful in creating engagement and results sought after by the business community. In addition to commercial considerations, the choice of incentive program also raises about many tax issues linked to, for example, valuation, benefit taxation, social security contributions and not least at what point in the program’s lifecycle any taxation takes place.
MAQS has extensive experience in creating modern incentive programs. Together with specialists in other relevant areas, our tax specialists tailor incentive programs based on the conditions and needs of each business. Our experience includes advising listed and unlisted companies regarding, among other things, warrants, call options, investment programs, employee companies, qualified employee stock options and LTI (Long Term Incentive Program) and a variety of bonus models.
