Company RSUs and employee shares

Nobody teaches you what to do with your RSUs.

Your employer vests them, your broker sells them, and then silence. When you eventually ask, an accountant quotes hundreds of euro to sort out a handful of shares. Meanwhile Revenue still expects your capital gains tax.

Nobody tells you

RSUs are taxed twice: income tax when they vest, then CGT at 33% when you sell. The second one is yours to report.

Accountants charge a lot

€300–€600 per year for one or two sales. We estimate the vest-day cost, the gain, your exemption and deadlines automatically.

We remove the complexity

Upload your statement, get plain-English answers and draft Form CG1 figures to review. You stay in control.

Everything Irish CGT asks of you, in one calm place.

Upload anything

Statements, CSVs, or screenshots. We pull out every sale and convert USD/GBP at ECB rates on the right dates.

Spots the traps

41% ETF exit tax and the 4-week bed-and-breakfast rule.

Never miss a deadline

15 Dec and 31 Jan payments, with late-interest estimates.

Revenue's own forms, pre-filled

Draft figures on the official Form CG1 and payslips, plus step-by-step ROS guidance — ready for you to check and sign.

RSUs and capital gains tax: your questions

How are RSUs taxed in Ireland?+

Twice. When your RSUs vest, the market value is taxed as income (PAYE/USC/PRSI — your employer usually handles this). But that's not the end: when you later sell the shares, any gain over their value on vesting day is subject to capital gains tax at 33%. Most employees only know about the first tax.

Do I owe capital gains tax on RSUs I sold?+

If you sold for more than the shares were worth on the day they vested, yes — the difference is a taxable gain. You get a €1,270 personal exemption each year, and losses can offset gains. Anything above that is taxed at 33%, and Revenue expects a Form CG1 return by 31 October for the prior year.

What happens if I don't report my RSU sales?+

Revenue receives share data from brokers and employers and can open a back-year assessment. On top of the tax you'd owe statutory interest of 0.0219% per day, plus surcharges for late filing. Reporting on time is almost always cheaper than fixing it later.

How much does an accountant charge for an RSU tax return?+

Typically €300–€600 or more per year, even for one or two sales. cgteasy works out estimated figures automatically: upload your broker statement, and you get your estimated CGT position, payment deadlines and draft Form CG1 numbers to review — without the hourly rate.
