taxation of stock options
Taxation of stock options refers to the process of levying taxes on the profits or gains generated from the exercise or sale of stock options, which are a form of compensation given to employees or shareholders. These taxes are typically imposed by the government on the difference between the market value of the stock at the time of exercise/sale and the exercise price, with the burden falling on the option holder.
