ESOP Briefing

Share plan design, implementation and management in Australia is governed chiefly by two main bodies of Federal legislation, the

  • Income Tax Assessment Act, and

  • Corporations Act.

Of these, the Income Tax Assessment Act (Division 13A) is of primary importance. It lays down the conditions for operating share plans and the nature of the benefits linked to share plans which meet those conditions.
