- LinuxBender 5y agoYeah I think the phrasing threw me off. There are taxes paid at the time of vesting of RSU's (vs options) but that is usually done by your employer before you even see the stock in your stock management accounts. The bigger and more ugly taxes come from selling off the stock.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoDepends on how long you wait to sell, and if what happens to the asset price in the mean time. I sell all my shares the day after they vest or the same day. I pay basically zero net taxes on that action.
