    1. A share option plan is a set of rules that allows employees to purchase shares in the company they work for at a set price. 2. This can be beneficial for employees as it allows them to buy shares at a discounted price, and can also be a good way for companies to reward and retain employees. 3. Share option plans can also be used as a tax-efficient way to invest in a company, as any gains on the sale of shares are taxed at a lower rate than other forms of income.
