If you are given shares or shares options by your employer, you will need to pay tax. 

Sometimes, people assume their broker or employer has looked after the tax, however this is not the case. The onus is on you to calculate the tax and file the necessary tax returns!

Being given shares may be the first time you will need to file a return directly with Revenue. Read our comprehensive guide to shares and tax in Ireland for information on your responsibilities.

The guide includes information on:

  1. Share Awards
  2. Share Options
  3. Penalties
