Contractor structuring and share-option taxation for tech workers and contractors.
Tech pay comes in forms Revenue treats very differently: contract income, RSUs, share options. We structure it properly and plan around capital gains (33% CGT) so equity doesn’t catch you out.

What you should know
Tech pay arrives in forms Revenue treats very differently. Salary is taxed under PAYE; contract income depends on whether you trade as a sole trader, through your own limited company, or via an umbrella; and equity (RSUs, options, ESPP) has its own timing and its own traps. RSUs are generally taxed as pay when they vest, and a later sale can bring a separate capital gains charge on top.
Capital gains run at 33%, with only the first €1,270 of gains each year exempt, so selling vested shares needs planning rather than a panic in October. We get the trading structure right, plan the equity around the tax, and keep the Form 11 and preliminary tax on track throughout the year.
