RSUs are taxed at vesting. There is no tax advantage in holding them after they are released.

- jgibson 8y agoYou still pay tax on the gain when you sell though (assuming there is any gain). Depending on how long you hold them there will be normal income tax or long-term gains tax
- phamilton 8y agoYes, but this is equivalent to purchasing the stock. You could sell the day they vest, and then use the proceeds to repurchase the stock and you'd be in the same boat. I.e. there's nothing special about them once they vest.
