A further tax advantage of allowing employees to acquire shares in the company is that the employing company may be entitled to a corporation tax deduction.
This deduction is the difference between the amount payable by the employee and the market value of those shares at the time they are acquired. This will generally be the amount taxable on the employee so, for example, if the employee pays £1 a share when the shares are worth £10 each then the £9 per share discount will be deductible for the company.
