  2. How do shares and employee stock options work?

    Wants changes
    Call for evidence (2025) · 9 Jul 2025

    Ensure that employees do not have to pay tax on receiving stock options but only when they actually sell them and realize money.

    “Also, make it so that stock options dont mean employees need to pay on getting them but on actually selling them which is when the money really comes.”

  3. What about tax?

    Wants changes

    Implement a single, simple way to declare and pay taxes centrally, avoiding tax obligations depending on customers' locations, and adopt simplified tax accounting to reduce costs and tax evasion.

    “One single legal entity that is recognized across the EU and also one single and simple way to declare and pay taxes, the central entity can then decide how to split that but I dont want to deal with taxes depending in where each customer is from or things like that... Easy and standard tax accounting, do you know how expensive tax accountants are just because tax accounting is complex ? You will get more taxes if it were much simpler because there will not be as many incentives to evade taxes, see the simplified regime in Colombia for example, pay 7% taxes on all the revenue and thats it, at least at the early stages makes things so simple that an entrepreneur can do it himself/her self without hiring a tax accountant, more time and money to focus on building a business that makes money and pays more taxes.”
