STOP PRESS: At Spring Budget 2024, the Chancellor announced that the remittance basis would be abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

General principles

Where a UK resident employee acquires or is granted the right to acquire employment-related securities (ERS), the employee is subject to certain UK tax and regulatory requirements which apply no matter where the issuer of those ERS or the employer is located.

For tax, the basic principle is that the employee is charged to income tax on the value received. The situation becomes more complex where that employee is internationally mobile and the relevant rules are outlined below.
