By definition, a CCPC is a private company and is therefore not listed on a public stock exchange like the New York Stock Exchange or the Toronto Stock Exchange. When your employer grants or gives a stock option to you, you do not have to include anything in your taxable income at that time. In other words, there is no tax consequence to you at the grant date. When you exercise a stock option, which means to purchase the shares through your employer, you must include a taxable benefit in your income. The taxable benefit is equal to the difference between the exercise price (i. e. the price you paid to buy the shares) and the market value of the shares at the time of purchase. There is a special tax deferral for employees of CCPCs. The taxable benefit can be postponed to the date the shares are sold. This makes it easier for employees to pay tax because they will have cash available from the sale of the shares. Vejamos um exemplo. Assume that the exercise price is 3 share, and the market value is 10 share. When you exercise your right to buy the shares, a taxable benefit is realized for 7 share (10 minus 3). Remember, for employees of CCPCs the taxable benefit is postponed until the shares are sold. If you meet one of these two conditions, you can claim a tax deduction equal to of the taxable benefit, or 3.50 in this example (50 x 7). You have held the shares for at least two years after you have purchased them The exercise price is at least equal to the fair market value of the shares when they were granted to you Tax Implications for Employee Stock Options CCPCPublic Companies Employee Stock Options Now, lets move on to the taxation of stock options for public companies. On the date that you are granted or receive stock options in an employer that is a publicly listed company, you do not have a personal tax consequence. However, on the date that you purchase the shares, you will get a taxable benefit equal to the difference between the exercise price of the shares and the market value of the shares on that date. You cannot postpone the timing of this taxable benefit. Lets assume you work for Coca-Cola Canada and the fair market value of the shares today is 30 share. According to the option agreement, you can exercise or buy the shares for 10 share. Therefore, the taxable benefit that will be included in your income at the time of exercise is 20 share. After buying the shares, you have two choices: (A) You can immediately sell the shares or (B) You can hold onto them if you believe they will increase in value in the future. If you choose to hold onto the shares and sell them in the future for a profit, the profit made from the sale will be classified as a capital gain and subject to tax. Whether you sell the shares or hold onto them, taxes will be deducted from your paycheck to account for the taxable benefit you realized on the purchase of the shares. However, dont hold onto the shares for too long after purchasing them. This is because if the price of the stock drops youre still liable for the taxable benefit realized on the purchase date. You can claim a tax deduction for of the taxable benefit realized on the exercise date. To do so, all of these 3 conditions must be met: You receive normal common shares upon exercise The exercise price is at least equal to the fair market value of the shares at the time the options were granted You deal at arms length or on a third party basis with your employer Disclaimer The information provided on this page is intended to provide general information.

Post navigation Capital loss is only applied to cases where you have actually sold the stock. Luckily, for you there is a provision under section 50(1) of the income tax act that does allow for some tax relief. When this is applied, the shares will be deemed to have been disposed of for proceeds of nil at the end of the year, and to have been recacquired for adjusted cost base (ACB) of nil immediately after the end of the year. As a result, you will be able to realize the capital loss on the stock. The superficial loss rule does not apply in situation. Allan Madan and Team What if my company is being taken over by several investors and is going from a public to a private company, when they own 90 of the shares, I am force to sell mine at below market value, do I get any tax relief in terms of capital losses IF you are force to sell your shares then it is illegal for them to pay at below market value for the remaining shares, you should be able to get at least market value you for them. IF not, you can deduct your capital loss against your capital gains for tax relief. Allan Madan and Team I did some contracting work for a small startup tech company. Since they had no money they paid me in shares, if and when they take the company public, would I have to pay taxes then You would only have to pay capital gains tax when and if you decide to exercisesell your shares. If you continue to hold onto them, you will not be subjected to any taxes. Allan Madan and Team Is it possible to hold my stocks within a TFSA account how would the accrued interest on these stocks be taxed Yes common shares generally qualify for TFSA investments, however those shares must be listed on a designated stock exchange. If they are not listed, then they will be categorized as a non-qualified investment inside your TFSA and you will be hit with some severe penalties. The taxation of the accrued interest would be the same for any type of investment contributions made to your TFSA. Allan Madan and Team What would be classified as a designated stock exchange what about penny stocks Hi Mahmoud, the Canadian Department of Finance has a list of 41 designated stock exchange on it website here fin. gc. caactfim-imfdse-bvd-eng. asp . Penny stocks traded on pink sheets are not on a designated stock exchange but any penny stocks (people disagree on its definition) that are listed on any of the designated stock exchange are eligible for TFSA investments. Allan Madan and Team What if a stock is listed on multiple exchanges some of which are not listed, how would the department of Finance categorize this As long as the stock is listed on at least one approved stock exchange that is recognized by the department of Finance, it will qualify for TFSA investment. Allan Madan and Team Hi Allan. I currently work for a CCPC, and they have offered me 5000 in stock as compensation. As I am new to world of stocks, I am wondering what to do with these. What happens when I exercise my stock options Are there any tax implications Hello, and thanks for your question. Stock options are one of the most popular form of non-monetary compensation that employers offer. They are a taxable benefit, and should be included on your total employment income on box 14 of your T4 slip. Heres how they work. An employee is given the option to buy shares of a company at a future price. At this stage, there is nothing to report on income. When you buy the stocks at that agree-upon price (called exercising your option), the taxable benefit comes into play. This benefit is calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date you purchased the shared and the price you paid for them. As your employer is a CCPC, you can defer all your taxable benefit until you sell your shares. Markus Greenbriar says: I worked for a company back in 2003 that had an IPO. Employees were awarded stock options, and I was given 2,000 shares. I still have the letter from the man who was then president and CEO. The length of the contract was 25 years. However, I ended up leaving the company a few months later, so it appears as if I am only 25 vested. The company has now been split into two separate companies. Do any of my stock options have value today Can I cash out my vested portion In your case, you would have 25 of the original contract for 2000 shares. The main question you need to answer here is which company took over the stock. If the company split into two, who took over the shares Also, did the company that took over shares covert the option contracts Sometimes the employee stock option plan (ESOP) will not have the options converted if the company is broken up. If the company did not give you options but just 2,000 shares, you would need to know what the shares converted into. Most companies only give option contracts to executives, because they are not actually holding onto the stock. Most option plans do not have a vesting, but the ESOP will. I would call the company that holds the stock, and find out what your options are. If the company split in 2003, it will probably take a long time to figure out the information. Companies are only required to keep records in the front office for 3 to 5 years, depending on the type of record. Therefore, the sooner you do this the better. If you received a T4 from the employer who also issued the stock options in your name, then the respective gain or loss would be reported as part of your T4 slip (as well as the stock option deduction in box 39 and 41). In addition, you will be able to claim 50 of the amount from line 4 of Form T1212, Statement of Deferred Security Options Benefits. Regards, Allan Madan and Team I received employee stock option when my company was private and now it went IPO. So its publicly traded, I still haven8217t 8220exercised8221 my stock options and it is set to expire soon. I am thinking of doing 8220Exercise and hold8221, when I do that I will have to pay the company the excessive price but will I also have to pay tax right away (even if I am not selling, just holding). Also how can I deffer the taxes so I can split the taxable profit to multiple years so I pay less taxes Any info of the 8220Exercise8221 and hold8221 option would be good. I received employee stock option when my company was private and now it went IPO. So its publicly traded, I still havent exercised my stock options and it is set to expire soon. I am thinking of doing Exercise and hold, when I do that I will have to pay the company the excessive price but will I also have to pay tax right away (even if I am not selling, just holding). Also how can I differ the taxes so I can split the taxable profit to multiple years so I pay less taxes Any info of the Exercise and hold option would be good. Terrence Salts says: What are the tax implications of trading stocks in a non-TFSA account with a brokerage, when it comes to end of year taxes on profits Is there a particular rate for capital gains Also, do I keep track of my gains and losses myself 50 of your gains are counted as taxable income. You can deduct past capital losses from current capital gains. After factoring in capital gains, if your personal income is below the exemption level you wont pay any taxes on it. You also dont have to pay taxes if you havent sold the stock this year. Earnings from dividends are taxed differently, and have different rates depending on whether they are considered eligible or inedible. Finally, keep track of all your gains and losses. Your institution may provide you with a summary, but will not give you a formal t-slip. Regards, Allan Madan and Team Jeremiah Rakham says: I received a company stock option some time ago. It has a strike price of 3.10, and a vest of 30,000 after each of three years. The most recent yearly dividend was 0.69, and six months ago the company offered to buy it back. Though they offered 2.80, nobody sold their shares. What, if anything should I do with these What are the tax rules surrounding my situation Tax rules for stock options in Canada differ, depending on whether the company is a CCPC. If it is, there is no immediate taxable gain. The gain is taxed when shares are sold, not exercised. This significantly reduces the up-front difficulty of purchasing stock options. Also, if shares are held for at least two years after the exercise, half of the initial gains are tax-free. If it is not a CCPC, the taxable gain may be due in the year of exercise. Many companies in this situation offer near-immediate partial buyback to help offset these costs. The difference between the market value at the time of exercise and the value at the time of sale is taxed as income for non CCPCs. My advice is to exercise and sell if the stock price is higher, and take your cash profit. Then, use that profit to buy shares and collect dividends. You will get taxed on the profit from selling your options, and later on the dividends. Regards, Allan Madan and Team Govind Swarna says: I work in Canada for a company that trades in the US. One of the benefits I get from my job is that I get restricted stock units (RSUs) once a year. These are connected to an ETrade account that the company arranged for me. I have filled out the W-8BEN tax form. I believe this is the correct form. I just found out that there was an automatic 8216sell to cover8217 action that sold enough stock to account for 40 of the value that had vested. Does this amount satisfy Revenue Canada when it comes to tax time Or do I need to put some of the remainder aside as well I asked an accountant, and he said that since it is a capital gain that the CRA would tax me on 50 of the value8230is this correct Also, the stock vested at 25.61 (which is the value at which the sell-to-cover happened), but by the time I could sell, the stock was at 25.44. Does that have any bearing on my situation The fair market value of the RSU at vest time is treated as regular income paid to you by your employer and will be taxed at your marginal rate. 40 should be enough withholding to satisfy your personal income tax, depending on what your total income for the year is. Since it vested at 25.61 but you sold it at 25.44, you8217ll be able to claim a capital loss (or carry it forward to a year where you have gains you can offset with it). Regards, Allan Madan and Team I work for a start-up company, and part of my compensation is stock options. Assuming that we get a chance to exit (big assumption, of course), I stand to make a large sum of money when I exercise them. What happens at this point with regards to tax As I understand it, all growth from the exercise price will be taxed as capital gains. Is this correct If so, I would end up losing a large percentage in taxes. Is it possible to exercise the options sheltered inside a TFSA or RRSP to avoid capital gains Is there anything I8217d need to do beforehand (e. g. 8220transfer8221 the options un-exercised into a TFSA) to prepare for that Your options are taxed at capital gains rates (i. e. 50) since you get a 50 deduction on the income inclusion assuming you meet certain conditions. Regarding holding them in a TFSA or RRSP, make sure that you ensure they will not be considered a non-qualified andor prohibited investment. In general, you need to ensure that you and non-arms length parties (such as relatives) will not own more than 10 of the company. However, you may not be able to get them into a TFSA without paying some tax on them. This is the point of a TFSA the contributions are after-tax. You could possibly exercise the option, pay the (income) tax, then transfer the shares to a TFSA. However, this is assuming the stock price goes up after you exercise. Regards, Allan Madan and Team Aaron Samuel says: Hello, in 2012, I bought 1,000 shares at my company at 10 each. In 2013, the stocks shot up to 40 a share. Some of my co-workers and I decided to sell the shares, but then the stocks declined back down to 10 a share. How should we handle this situation Hi, In this case you should report a taxable employment benefit of 30,000 on your T1 return. This represents the profit earned on the shares up to the date of exercise. In addition, you should report a capital loss of 30,000 because the shares dropped in value when you sold them. The bad news is, the capital loss of 30,000 cannot be offset with the taxable employment benefit of 30,000. If you want, you can contact your local CRA Tax Services office, explain the situation, and they will determine whether special payment arrangements can be made. Allan Madan and Team Hi, My wife will need to exercise some options from her former employer this week. It8217s a publicly traded company. I understand she will have pay taxes on the difference of price between the exercise price and the current value. My question is who is required to send the tax amount to the CRA: The employer or her. If it8217s the employer, does that mean they can withhold some of the shares as payment to the CRA Thanks Generally, the difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time the option is exercised and the option price will give rise to a taxable benefit. This taxable benefit is included in the employment income when the stock option is exercised (i. e. it is added onto the T4 just like a salary or a bonus). Since this amount is like a salary, the employer has to make payroll remittances on it (CPP, EI and income tax). Carla Harmon says: Hi, I was just wondering if there are any benefits of transferring the stocks from my employee stock savings account to a TFSA. Hi Kasey, if you work for a Canadian-controlled private corporation, you will be able to defer the tax on the employment benefit until the shares are sold. The CRA realizes that most people cannot find a way to pay tax on 50,000 of noncash compensation, which is why they allow you to defer the tax. However, if you do not work for a Canadian-controlled private corporation or a publicly traded company, no deferral will be available. Hello Allan, I made the election to defer income taxes on my shares in a public company. The stock value has since declined and I dont have enough money to pay the income taxes that I have deferred. Is there any way to postpone the payments until I get enough money to pay them off Hi Sarah, yes there is temporary relief that the CRA provides for employees who have made an election to defer income tax on declining stock options. The relief is intended to ensure the income taxes payable on the benefit arising on the exercise of the stock option does not exceed the proceeds of disposition received when the optioned securities are sold while taking account of the tax benefit resulting from the deductible capital loss on those securities. To take advantage of this relief, the election must be filed no later than your filing deadline for the taxation year during which the shares are sold, which is almost always April 30th. Hello Allan, I was thinking of giving shares to my employees instead of stock options. I know some of the advantages to this method, but not a lot about the disadvantages. Can you tell me a few disadvantages of giving shares to employees Hi Dan, here is a list of potential disadvantages for issuing shares to your employees. Deferred tax liability if shares are bought below fair market value. May need to defend the fair market value. You may also need an independent valuation, although that is very rare. You need to make sure that shareholder agreement provisions are in place. Issuing shares at very low prices on a cap table may look bad to new investors. More Shareholders to manage. Here are some advantages of giving out shares. You can get up to 800,000 in life-time tax-free capital gains. 50 deduction on gains if shares held for more than two years or if shares were issued at FMV. Losses in a CCPC can be used as allowable business losses if the business fails. Can participate in Ownership of company. Less dilution than if stock options are issued. I work for a public company and received 1000 shares of stock options. Let8217s say the exercise price was 10share, and the market value of the share was 13share (at the time the shares were exercised). I paid necessary tax at the time of exercise, but I did not immediately sell my shares. If the shares go up in value to 15share and I sell all my shares at this time, do I have to pay any taxes further taxes In your example, if you decide to sell your shares at 15, you will be taxed on the capital gain as follows: Adjusted Cost Base: 13 (FMV of when you exercised your shares) Proceeds of Disposition: 15 (FMV of when you sold your shares) Capital Gain: 2 Inclusion Rate: 12 Taxable Capital Gain: 1 share you sell. You record a gain of 2 for each share you sold and will have to pay 1 in taxable capital gains for each share you sold. I have a question concerning taxation of stock options. I work for a public company and was granted 1000 shares of stock options at the exercise price of 10share (according to the agreement). The market value of the shares was 13share (at the time the option was exercised). I paid the necessary taxes at the time of exercise and the employment benefit was included in my income on my T4 slip. If I hold on to the shares and the shares go up in value, and then I sell the shares at 15share, do I need to pay taxes for the additional gain of 2share Dear Sumeer, As an employee who exercises options and acquires shares, you are entitled to an offsetting deduction that equates to one half of the employment benefit amount. This is given to you as long as these conditions are met: 8211 the employer corporation is the issuer of shares 8211 the shares are not 8220preferred shares8221 but instead 8220prescribed shares8221 8211 the option exercise price must not be less than the fair market value of the shares at the time the option is granted 8211 the employee deals closely with the employer corporation I hope this helped, Thanks Allan Hello Allan, I am ready to declare my security option benefit and I work for a private Canadian corporation how do I go about this Thanks, Ranjeet Hello Ranjeet, Declaring your security options benefits depends on the type of company issuing the benefits. If the company is a Canadian controlled private corporation, you have to report the benefits the year you plan on selling your securities. Thanks, Allan Madan I exercised options using a net exercise (they used part of my available options to purchase shares and provided me with a certificate for those shares) last year but on review the company did not report the taxable benefit on my T4. The stock is for a publicly listed company on the TSX. How should this be cleared up with CRA Isn8217t it the companies responsibility to report this as income on my T4 It8217s the company8217s responsibility to report the taxable benefit realized upon exercising employee stock options. You should speak with your employer and ask them if they will be issuing amended T4 slips to their employees. What is your take on the Liberal government8217s pre-election promise to change how stop options are taxed I have unexercised employee options granted to me before the company I work for went public (IPO). I am concerned that the changes can have a significantly negative effect on the tax on the gains of those options ifwhen exercised next year (stock price is currently too low to exercise now, or I would). As such: 1) Do you think the federal government will go ahead with these changes I have read articles that make it sound like it may not be worthwhile to go ahead as companies would logically have to be given the ability to deduct options as an expense, which is now not the case. 2) Do you think there will be any grandfathering that may benefit situations such as mine 3) Do you think the changes will apply to pre-IPO companies as well as public companies 4) If the federal government does go ahead with changes, do you think the changes will be exactly as promised, or might there be some lessening of their impact (e. g. higher annual exclusion) These are excellent questions. While the liberal government has expressed its intention to make employer stock option benefits 100 taxable, they have said that this high inclusion rate will only apply on gains in excess of 100,000. Therefore, most Canadians will not be affected. I suspect that the liberal government will go head with these plans, but I8217m not completely certain. The finance minister announced that options granted prior to the date on which the new stock option rules come into effect will be grandfathered. He did not specify whether the rules will be different for pre-IPO companies or public companies. i work for a company that allows me to purchase stock options. they will match up to 30. i am about to be laid off. better to cash out now not sure if ei benefits will be reduced if i was to cash out while claiming ei. Thanks for your question. If your total income for the year including taxable stock option benefits and EI payments does not exceed 61,000, then your EI payments will not be clawed-back. I suggest that you first calculate the total taxable benefit from cashing our your stock options before you decide whether or not it makes sense to cash out. Hello Allan, can either stock option proceeds (or the options themselves) or ESPP stocks or proceeds be transferred or gifted to as spouse for taxation purposes. The stock are in an American company which has been purchased and these stocks will be paid out all at the same time. Thank you, Jane Hi Jane, They can be gifted to a spouse at cost, so that a capital gain will not arise on the transfer. BUT, any income or gains earned by the recipient spouse on the transferred stocks shares must be attributed back to the transferor spouse. So you can8217t save taxes by way of a gift to a spouse.2e Twice-Exceptional Newsletter For parents, teachers and professionals. Helping twice-exceptional children reach their potential.

States and school districts are obligated to ensure that students with disabilities receive FAPE in the least restrictive environment (LRE). This guidance explains that any bullying of a student with disabilities which results in the student not receiving meaningful educational benefit is considered a denial of FAPE. Furthermore, this letter notes that certain changes to an educational program of a student with a disability (e. g. placement in a more restricted protected setting to avoid bullying behavior) may constitute a denial of FAPE.
