The purpose of the Fiscal Policy on Employee Ownership groupis to analyse the practical effects of different tax policies towards employee share ownership. We wish to determine the most effective ways in which government can use the tax system to promote employee share ownership, while balancing against the need to maintain integrity in the system and fairness to all taxpayers.

We wish to encourage and facilitate a debate between legislators in different countries, and people who give guidance and advice to legislators, either from within government or from outside, such as academics and policy institutes.

We do not seek to promote one form of tax relief over any other, or to harmonise tax systems. We recognise that different cultural and economic environments may require the use of different policies. We do, however, believe that all governments can learn from the effects which policies have had in other countries.
