Opti Plans

A win-win solution

Optimization through option plans

The pay-out of classic bonuses 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 company will grant them to its employees free of charge. After acceptation and after the blocking period, beneficiaries can sell their options in order to receive the cash on their bank account.

Our products are provided in cooperation with our licensed distributor Hilbert Investment Solutions SAS.

13th month optimization

The 13th month, or end-of-year-premium, can be converted in short-term options (warrants) in certain cases.

Choice

An employee will need to make his choice whether he wants to receive his 13th month in cash or in options.

Rules

Not all companies are allowed to optimize. Therefore the following must be verified: 

-Paritair comittee

-Company rules

-Union may need to be consulted

Addendum

An addendum to the employment contract is not mandatory but recommended. It states the framework of the optimization.

Go!

The result? A higher net amount for employees.
