I live in a European country which is considered among the top in the world regarding income tax. I am offered a bonus this year based on my performance and got to choose between 3 options.
100% cash: around 67% will go to tax
100% short term warrant(can sell them same day I receive them): around 54% tax
100% long term option (can only sell them after 1 year): around 33% tax.
As you can see all of them are taxed, but the cash one results in nuts. I am also eligible to have a split 50-50% between any 2 options.
The underlying asset is a 50 stocks index. The warrants are 10 years long and i can sell them or exercise them. For option 2, i will be selling the warrant to the bank issued by them so company buys it from bank x and i sell it back to them.
I know warrants aren’t halal but also paying too much tax is draining. I pay 42% of my salary in tax each month.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
