CGT On Vested Cryptocurrency

Answer

Hi, My employer offers a Salary & Cryptocurrency compensation package. Cryptocurrency is issued and vested for 1 year, at which you can then claim. If the initial price of the issue is values at £100k, and the market moves pushing the total value up to £200k after 1 year, should your employer be paying CGT or Income tax on the 100k "profit"? I cannot seem to find this answer in any of the online resources. Thank you.
