Tax Efficient Way of Holding/Exercising Stock Options?

stainluss · 2017-11-12 15:41:58

I understand stock options that are not in specific Revenue-approved schemes are taxed at income tax rates. Are there any tax-efficient ways of holding and exercising options that help minimize the tax bill? (I mean this from a recipient's point of view, not the issuing company.)

You could set up a privately administered pension fund and bung the shares into that....
