Hello!
Does anyone have experience issuing non-qualified options to a UK contractor? Is there anything legally/taxation wise that I need to do in the UK? Or can I just proceed as I would for issuing options to a US contractor. Does the fact that the contractor is in the UK matter at all at issuance?
