How Phantom Share Schemes Can Benefit Your Business

  • Phantom share schemes are extremely flexible and can be appropriately tailored to meet your company’s requirements and goals.
  • If you are a company owner who wishes not to offer employees shares or you’re worried about having minority shareholders then this is a great option for you.
  • You can also choose to separate your investments that are from the trading business as well.
  • The setup process is easy and they are simple to administer.
  • You are not required to file a share scheme annual return with HMRC.

Tax Status Of Phantom Share Schemes

  • Tax is handled the exact same as a normal cash bonus. Whereas there is no tax payable on the grant of a phantom option, any payouts that are made under this scheme will be subject to income tax through PAYE and national insurance contributions (NICs).
  • If you know about or are currently offering Enterprise Management Incentives (EMIs) at your business, then know this is the opposite of what occurs with this type of tax-advantaged share scheme. In this case, if and when certain conditions are met then an employee can usually choose an option that doesn’t include liability to Income Tax or NICs.
