CAPITAL MARKETS Increased tax on stock options proposed Finance Canada has proposed to limit stock option compensation by changing the tax treatment for options exceeding $200,000 per year. Canadian Controlled Private Companies (CCPCs) will be exempt from the new treatment. Public comments were sought to identify other companies (NON-CCPCs) that should be exempt. PDAC recommended companies generating less than $100 million in revenue be exempt.
