Let's optimize!
Remuneration is heavily taxed in Belgium. The story is quite different if you choose for options instead of cash because options are not subject to social security contributions.
The Short Term Plan is an easy way to optimize the variable remuneration or the 13th month.
The options are granted in the morning to the employees and can be sold at market close in the evening. That means that there is a limited market risk of only 1 day (actually 8 hours).
The employee decides when he/she sells the options*. There is no deadline to sell, neither any need to open a securities account. Wait, why?
*Any orders for sale made by the employee will take place through the intermediation of Hilbert Investment Solutions SAS, acting as regulated intermediary in receiving and executing these orders.
