RE:Stock options at 0.41not sure if Canada has different tax rules, but generally speaking options are granted with a strke price, say for CVV .41. The have a 2 year vesting time frame as stated in the press release. then most options have a 10 year excercise date. Taxes are generally due the year options are excercised. if the strike price is .41, the owner pays .41 cents for the option and pays taxes on the gain. to make money the stock price must exceed the strike price. Over the years I received options there is no tax advantage to excercising stock options. they are cut and dry you pay taxes on the gain.
