are RSU taxes paid by facebook or employee?

Mar 27, 2020 11 Comments

lets say im granted 100 shares of facebook every quarter. am i right in assuming that facebook picks up the tax liability so those 100 shares are mine tax free? (assuming the grant price and stock price are exactly the same)

follow up: lets say i was gifted them at $10 per share, theyve since risen to $25. im then on the hook to pay short term gains on the additional $15 per share if i hold less than a year or long term gains tax if held for more than a year. correct?
