Abstract

In this article we examine certain issues associated with Section 8C and other important and frequently encountered related provisions of the Income Tax Act. The issues examined relate to: the difference in tax treatment of restricted and unrestricted equity instruments; possible inequitable tax treatment where an employee receives both an interest free or low interest loan and an equity instrument from an employer and also where a taxpayer receives an equity instrument as trading stock; and the donations tax implications of the donation of a restricted equity instrument. The article does not purport to be an exhaustive analysis of these provisions; rather it discusses certain interesting issues encountered by the authors.
