Federal Budget 2010: Changes to Taxation of Stock Options

Posted on March 9, 2010 by Lesha Van Der Bij

The Canadian government recently tabled its budget for 2010, which proposes significant changes to the way in which both employees and employers are taxed in Canada on stock options, including:

  • elimination of the deferral for public company stock options;
  • restrictions on the deduction for the cash out of stock options; and
  • special relief for tax deferral elections.

For more information on these changes to the taxation of employee stock option plans, see the Osler Update: Budget Briefing 2010.
