Employee Ownership and Save as You Earn: Scotland
(asked on 23rd November 2020) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people in (a) Scotland and (b) Airdrie and Shotts constituency participated in the (a) save as you earn scheme and (b) share incentive plan in each of the last three years for which figures are available.
The Save As You Earn (SAYE) and Share Incentive Plan (SIP) schemes are tax-advantaged employee share schemes offered by the Government.
On point (b) of UIN 119250, the value of gain for the whole of the UK for SAYE schemes is provided in the Employee Share Scheme national statistics. A breakdown by country could only be provided at a disproportionate cost. The data for the past three years (whole UK) is provided in the table below:
Year | Value of gain on exercised options (£m) |
2018/19 | 420 |
2017/18 | 350 |
2016/17 | 360 |
On UIN 119249, point (a) of UIN 119250, and UIN 119251, the information requested is not readily available and would require analysis of multiple data sources and therefore could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.
