Verification History

AI Verified Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch, but search confirmed New Zealand's Inland Revenue and Treasury Policy and Strategy division has long advocated deferring the taxing point on employee share schemes until shares are sold or listed. The 2016 policy advice document position has now materialized as the 2025-2026 reforms allowing tax deferral until liquidity events (sale or listing) for unlisted companies. Vote "for" the statement "Apply taxes on stock options only when sold" aligns directly with the quote's recommendation. Year 2016 reflects the original policy advice publication. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 6d ago
