HMRC has published their first Employment-related Shares & Securities Bulletin which contains details and updates with regard to employment-related securities and tax-advantaged employee share schemes.
The purpose of the Bulletin is for HMRC to communicate updates or items of interest in this area that they wish to bring to your attention promptly. HMRC are welcoming suggestions for future articles although they will not guarantee that they will publish articles on these topics.

- Meaning of “the same provision” in pre-emption conditions (SIP)
