Danny Blum, Partner and Head of Employee Incentives, Eversheds Sutherland, said: “Companies which operate employee share incentive plans will not welcome the increase to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) or Employers’ National Insurance and adjustments to related thresholds. They should consider or re-consider the use of Government sponsored tax-advantaged share plans as a way of incentivising and retaining employees as well as benefiting from the valuable tax/NICs savings they offer." “The modest increase to the CGT and the gap between CGT and income tax – when combined with the increase to employers' NICs – mean that rewarding employees using share incentive arrangements remains a valuable and very attractive way to incentivise employees and creates alignment with shareholders and the leadership of a Company. It will be interesting to see the outcome of the commitment to not impose stamp taxes on share transactions in PISCES and we can but hope that any review of employee benefit trusts, a vital component of many employee incentive arrangements, does not result in unexpected consequences for employers - our experience with Disguised Remuneration in 2010 would suggest that this cannot be assumed.” #Budget2024

Continuing our global M&A series, we were delighted to host our annual Asia M&A dinner at the fabulous Madame Fu at Tai Kwun in Hong Kong, a declared monument of the Former Central Police Station Compound. The evening featured engaging discussions with senior dealmakers and advisers from the Hong Kong M&A community. Our team of transactional and regulatory lawyers—Charles Butcher, Jack Cai, Jocelyn Chow, Mark Herlach, and Eric Knai—along with of counsel and senior associates Grace Ma, Yolanda Liu, Chaz Kittrell, and Gabrielle Honey, shared insights on the global M&A landscape and key findings from our newly released M&A Report 2024. We also conducted an exclusive, in-room pre-election prediction poll just a week ahead of the big day. The results, however, fell well within the (very large) margin of error, so they will remain undisclosed…
