Solo serial entrepreneurThe current tax policy in the EU taxes stock options at the time they are exercised, creating a significant financial burden on employees who have not yet realized any tangible financial gain. This approach stifles innovation, discourages entrepreneurship, and places the EU at a competitive disadvantage compared to other regions like the United States. I propose a simple change: Tax stock options when the stock is sold, not when the option is exercised.

This approach can ensure a fairer tax system and prevent potential loopholes that allow for tax avoidance. By taxing at the point of sale, we can better capture the true financial benefits reaped by individuals.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Solo serial entrepreneurCountries like Singapore have successfully attracted new businesses from around the world by giving them a massive tax discount during the first 3 years of business. Because they know that’s the most difficult time of a business: figuring out what product it makes and if there’s a market for it. That takes pressure off startups and business founders that they can focus on creating a great product and innovating.

Our focus should be on creating a fair and competitive environment where all businesses contribute to public services and infrastructure, ensuring sustainable economic growth.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

CEO at FacebookAn entrepreneurial culture thrives when it’s easy to try lots of new ideas. We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things. There is something wrong with our system when I can make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can’t afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business.

Group Partner at Y Combinator, cofounded GoCardless and MonzoTaxing unrealized gains is bonkers. But accruing tax on unrealized gains makes a lot of sense. I built Monzo when I lived in the UK and accrued a lot of (paper) gains during that time. I now live in California and will pay US & California capital gain (38% 🤦♂️) if I sell shares. But I won’t pay anything in the UK. If Nik from Revolut sells shares as a Dubai tax resident, he will pay 0% capital gains. I feel like we both benefited enormously from the UK and we have a duty to give back. Entrepreneurs should be required to keep a record of their tax residence and the fair market value of their shareholding each year, and then pay capital gains proportionately when they sell. The US solves this by taxing their citizens’ worldwide income, regardless of residence.
