Any discount from the market price of the shares or rights is assessable. However, 2 alternative concessions are available for shares or rights provided under schemes that satisfy certain requirements.
The first concession is that the discount will not be included in the employee's assessable income until a later year of income.
The second concession is that the employee may make an election that reduces the amount assessed. Additional requirements must be satisfied to obtain this concession.
