Abstract

This paper is dedicated to studying the Brazilian tax treatment for stock plans, especially with regard to the Individual Income Tax and employer’s social security contribution. To achieve this goal, we investigated in depth the main aspects of both taxes. We conclude that the Individual Income Tax on is only due when the stock is sold. For employers’ social security contributions, we built three theses which, when applied cumulatively, or even subsidiary, make us conclude that the tax is not due in any of the stages of the operation.
