Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of potential merits of reducing the five-year holding period for Share Incentive Plans to three-years.
This question was answered on 7th December 2017
Share Incentive Plans were introduced to encourage employee share ownership and are designed to provide companies with flexibility to meet their business needs. The scheme is also designed to incentivise staff retention. The Government continues to keep employee share scheme policy under review.
