Cash is better the employer can abuse tips given via cards - and screw the employees

There's more than one grade of Special Agent and Gibbs deputised for the Director at one point.

So it's a stretch but as the team was designated Major Case Team i could see it working

No if you do a Phd at CERN or similar tier 1 institutions the pay there is often very low I found that for starting work at a world leading RnD organisation.

Ex marine who was invalided out I seem to recall

Well I kind of assume that the team is an Elite one - though the two people typing at the same time makes me cringe

Its a major problem for armed forces have people with advanced skills are not going to work for NCO pay which is what the higher ups think we are.

Its well known that family companies have difficulty lasting more than three generations exceptions Like Bacardi and Charles Wells are rare.

Also based on my Uncles experience the family Bookkie business (Birmingham UK) did not last to the 3rd Gen - ok the transition to legalization wasn't handled well by generation 2.

as the site says "The UK tax treatment for RSUs is similar to how your salary is taxed."

The example shown on the site you quote has a 56.53% effective rate - don't forget you pay NI as well

As I said very poor I paid zero tax on my two share saves and my current EMI is at the 10% rate.

Update the 56.5% rate is after you put 20k into pension the actual rate is just under 70%

HMRC Approved schemes only from Share Save through EMI (the gold standard)

If you get RSU's in an American parent company your screwed its just income there's some calculations on the relevant redit r/UKPersonalFinance - basically its treated income and you also don't get the legal protections

Ah sorry was looking with a UK perspective - the USA really doesn't want the little people accumulating capital does it.

As you say your getting a much better tax advantage and can use capital Gains to reduce the tax rate.

Though compared to the US the UK has much better treatment of "employee" share schemes. The most common Sharesave is effectively a risk free investment at a 20% discount.

I am surprised if the Google union hasn't got fairer treatment of stock options on its agenda and I do mean for all employees.

And anyone that has an atypical route into that profession.

I have also sacked an agency over this and they are on my personal "Call First" list so if I am recommending agencies they wont be getting a call.

But your change is actually misleading - allowing your biases doesn't help actual debate on the complex issues.

Unfortunately some of early American politicians had some cranky ideas about central banks - which caused some economic depressions.

As some one said the needs of the many out way the needs of the (rich) few.

Also Aussies hate sports personalities who they perceive as breaking the rules ask an Australia a cricket fan about the bodyline tour and Bradman.
