 Share Options - Enterprise Management Incentives
The Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) share scheme is intended to assist smaller high risk companies, especially those operating in the IT sector, by enabling them to grant tax efficient share options as a means to incentivise high calibre employees. Until now, companies wishing to use share options as a means to recruit and retain employees without offering high salaries have either had to suffer the consequences of potentially high taxes or alternatively set up cumbersome and restrictive approved share option schemes.
The new EMI scheme is intended to be considerably more tax efficient and flexible than the existing arrangements for share option schemes. For example: the EMI scheme requires no formal share option scheme - options are granted by a single written agreement with the relevant employee. There is no minimum exercise price (although if options are granted at a discount, there will be a tax liability on the discount). Options may vest immediately and may remain exercisable for up to 10 years. Options must be over fully paid up ordinary shares although the shares may have limited or no voting rights and may be subject to other restrictions.
There are a number of formalities - although there is no limit on the number of employees who may hold EMI options the value of options per employee is currently limited to £100,000. In addition there is an overall maximum limit of £3 million worth of shares over which EMI Options may be granted by any company. The company must agree the value of the shares with the Inland Revenue unless the shares are listed on a recognised investment exchange. In addition, the company must have gross assets of no more than £15,000,000. Options may not be granted over shares in a subsidiary company.
Full time employees may be granted EMI options. In addition, part timers will also qualify if they commit 75% or more of their working time to the business of the company. Consultants, non-executive directors and contractors will not qualify for EMI options.
EMI options may not be granted to any person who, together with their relatives and associates, holds more than 30% of the shares in the company.
Certain companies will not qualify for EMI options if their activities are designated as excluded activities. Examples of excluded activities include the following: dealing in land, commodities or futures etc. Dealing in goods otherwise than in the course of an ordinary trade of wholesale or retail distribution. Banking and related activities. Leasing or receiving royalties or licence fees. Legal or accounting services. Property development. Farming and woodlands. Hotel, nursing and care home management.
Companies can apply for advance assurances that they qualify for EMI.
If the option qualifies as an EMI option, the company must notify the Inland Revenue within 92 days of granting the options. The notice must be accompanied by the relevant form. The Inland Revenue has 12 months after it receives a notice to disqualify an option for EMI tax treatment.
- Overview of Tax Advantages. Income Tax
No income tax or national insurance is payable on the grant of EMI options. In addition, provided that the exercise price is not less than the market value of the shares at the date of grant, no income tax or national insurance will be payable on exercise. If the EMI option is granted at a discount, income tax is payable on the amount of the discount.
- Capital Gains Tax
Capital gains tax is payable on any EMI shares at the time of their disposal. However EMI shares receive preferential treatment for capital gains tax purposes. They are treated as “business assets” for the purposes of capital gains tax taper relief and they are considered as being acquired at the date of grant. Therefore provided that the shares are sold at any time five years after the date of grant, capital gains tax will normally be taxed at the rate of 10% rather than 40%. The new EMI regime should be of great benefit to small companies wishing to incentivise their key employees by way of tax efficient options. The tax benefits will operate to the advantage of both the company and the option holder.
