- refurb 6y agoAt granting? I get annual option from my $10B+ annual revenue employer (where strike price < current stock price) and I don't pay tax until the options vest and I choose to exercise. Then I just sell-to-cover.
- twblalock 6y agoThat depends on the type of options. Some are only taxable at exercise.
