Verified: the Springer chapter contains the same sentence in full, stating that taxing stock options before the acquired shares are sold makes them much less attractive to employees, so the user's ellipsis is faithful. The source is a reliable match and the chapter is credited to Pontus Braunerhjelm and Magnus Henrekson, meaning Braunerhjelm is a correct co-author attribution, though not the sole author.

Verified via web search. The full quote from Braunerhjelm & Henrekson (2024), "Tax Policy to Stimulate Innovation and Entrepreneurship" (Springer chapter, DOI 10.1007/978-3-031-42756-5_5) is: "Any form of taxation of stock options that falls due before the acquired shares are actually sold greatly reduces the attractiveness of this instrument for employees." The [...] elides "that falls due before the acquired shares are actually sold," which is permitted. Source URL was 403 to WebFetch but the chapter is the same one indexed by Springer. Vote "for" aligns with the statement "Apply taxes on stock options only when sold" — the quote explicitly argues against taxation before sale.
