Blind tax:
TC:295K CAD (FUTURE TC GOOGL)

Hello everyone, i have a couple of questions regarding taxes and way Google pays it's RSUs in Canadá

1. i have 200k USD in GSUs and i want to know how are they paid, is it monthly or quarterly?

2. How does the tax affect them? I assume i have to pay taxes on those, but are they subject to 22% as they are deferred bonuses or are they subject to the same rate as normal income tax?

3. Is RSPP % referenced over the total compensation or just the base salary?


Thanks in advance

      You also likely got down levelled with 9 yoe. The Google classic. If you're wondering if you could get significantly more at other companies in Canada, the answer is yes.

      Agreed. This is downleveled which doesn't make sense. Base is more close to L6.

      GSU could be higher.

    What’s the offer breakdown? Are you including sign-on in TC?

    Was this an initial offer or post-negotiation? If so, what was the initial offer?

      This is likely a down levelled l5 offer tbh. Average l4 Google offer if you look at levels is much lower.

      And it's front loaded too. If you're sure you're not getting refreshers this amounts to around 260k cad per year. Still great for Google Canada but not a top option especially with 9 yoe.

    1. Quarterly. There is a threshold which determines. I believe your falls under Quarterly

    2. I think it will be taxed similar to bonus

    3. Not sure

      3. Not sure about Google specifically but it’s typically based on your base pay

      No i am not, but a friend is and the reasons are simple, Cisco is constantly laying off ppl, is a sinking boat and everyone deserves some stability.

      Reach out if you have questions
