Bill Proposed for Transitional Tax Regulation for Stock Options

A bill has been submitted by the DISY and DIKO parties to create a transitional tax regulation for stock options. The proposal concerns old plans for granting stock options that were implemented before the tax reform and do not meet the new requirements. The regulation gives the Tax Commissioner the power to approve these plans, provided they include a minimum vesting period of three years, expiring by the second half of 2026. The regulation aims to enhance competitiveness and prevent the flight of businesses, particularly in the technology sector.
