Stock Options (SO) refer to a kind of equity compensation a company grants its employees and/or executives. It bears benefits for employees, founders, and the overall startup ecosystem. SO have emerged as an appealing mechanism for employee accountability and engagement, designed to motivate and reward workers for their performance while attracting talent. Each country has a unique legal framework and tax code, resulting in variations in SO depending on when taxation incurs – upon grant, exercise of rights, and/or sale of SO.
