This article takes a quick look at a specific form of equity compensation known as restricted stock units (\u201cRSUs\u201d).[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Definition of Restricted Stock Units&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]RSUs are units that are converted into shares according to a schedule tied to the employee\u2019s service tenure. Typically, an RSU is regulated by an incentive plan (the \u201cPlan\u201d) through which an employer or its affiliate defines the benefit, terms, and conditions applicable to qualifying employees (the \u201cParticipants\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>The Participant does not acquire the shares until reaching the scheduled dates (commonly referred to as \u201cvesting\u201d). Until vested, the RSUs cannot be acquired or sold. The shares received may often be \u201crestricted,\u201d meaning they cannot be sold or traded until the restriction is lifted. In most cases, this restriction refers to the time at which the shares have been registered with a securities commission to allow their purchase by and sale to the general public.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Granting Process of Restricted Stock Units&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]For tax purposes, the RSU granting process can be divided into three stages:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Issue Date:<\/strong> The date on which the employee becomes a Participant under the Plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vesting Date:<\/strong> The date when the employee acquires ownership of the RSUs and is entitled to convert them to stock. Most Plans stagger the vesting dates, meaning not all RSUs vest at the same time. This gives the employee an incentive to continue working for the company over a prolonged period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delivery Date:<\/strong> This is the date when the employee\u2014now the holder of a vested RSU\u2014exercises the right to receive stock in exchange for the RSU. Most Plans allow this exchange to occur on a cashless basis, i.e., the employee is not required to pay additional money to redeem the RSU.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;The Taxable Event&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]For tax purposes, equity compensation\u2014like wages\u2014is widely considered subject to income and other payroll taxes.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[2]<\/a> The key question for RSUs is <em>when<\/em> does this tax occur? At issue? At vesting? Upon delivery? The matter is not regulated by statute in Argentina,<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[3]<\/a> but judges and scholars have reviewed the question.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[4]<\/a> While not uniform, the dominant trend among courts and scholars is to consider these awards as compensation,<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[5]<\/a> even if they are part of a Plan provided by a company that is not the employer of record. <a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[6]<\/a><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Taxation of Restricted Stock Units for Argentine Residents&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]Because most courts consider RSUs to be compensation, the Argentine government taxes RSUs received by an Argentine resident as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The employer (whether or not the issuer) must withhold income tax (at progressive rates of up to 35%) from the employee at the time of <strong><em>delivery<\/em><\/strong>. The tax rate is the same as that applied to wages,<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[7]<\/a> even if the shares are those of a foreign company.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[8]<\/a> Likewise, the employer and employee must pay social security taxes on the value of the delivered shares.<\/li>\n<li>Upon delivery, the full value of the delivered shares is considered ordinary income. If the stock pays dividends, then the Participant must pay income tax on these dividends at the rate of 7%. If dividends are paid by the Argentine employer, the Participant is required to withhold income tax from the dividend payment. If the dividend is sourced from outside Argentina, the Participant is responsible for declaring the income, filing a return, and paying the relevant income tax.<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[9]<\/a><\/li>\n<li>In addition to income tax, the Participant must pay a Personal Assets Tax on the shares (but not on the RSUs) as of December 31 of each year, if the Participant\u2019s worldwide assets exceed AR$ 11.3 million (as of tax year 2022).<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[10]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Valuation of the Stock&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]While the above answers the questions of when to tax and at what rate, it does not tell us how to calculate the underlying value of the taxable income. That question is easily answered when referring to shares traded on an exchange (the fair market value of the delivered shares as of the time of their delivery).\u00a0 But what if the RSUs give the Participant restricted stock that is not marketable? How are these shares valued for tax purposes?<\/p>\n<p>For income and personal assets tax purposes, the value of non-marketable shares is calculated by applying the equity method (total issuer equity divided by outstanding shares) to the issuer\u2019s most recent balance sheet for the relevant tax year.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[11]<\/a> \u00a0If these shares are expressed in a foreign currency, they must be converted to local currency at the exchange rate quoted by the Banco de la Naci\u00f3n Argentina on the day the shares are delivered.<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[12]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If the employee eventually sells the shares for a profit, that gain will be subject to income tax at a fixed rate of 15%.<a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Final Considerations on Restricted Stock Units&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]On balance, we conclude that RSUs are an efficient vehicle for employers to motivate and retain their employees. RSUs reward long-term service, while deferring tax consequences until the RSUs are effectively converted into stock. Nevertheless, in evaluating the bottom-line benefits, Participants should consider the potential costs of taxes on assets or dividends once the RSUs become shares.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Footnotes &#8211; Comments&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h3|text_align:left&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; show_border=&#8221;yes&#8221; border_skin=&#8221;primary&#8221; border_size=&#8221;xs&#8221;][vc_column_text][1] This cashless feature differs from the conventional exercise of a <strong>stock option <\/strong>in which the employee is entitled to purchase stock at a price that is intended to be at a discount of the market price.<\/p>\n<p>[2] Nonetheless, a minority of courts and commentators do not consider these awards as tantamount to wages because they do not reward the employee for work (rather for loyalty and longevity of tenure) and there is no \u201ccausal link\u201d between the equity award and the work performed by the employee.
