RE: deed of understanding
Hi
I have not come across a deed of understanding and cannot find anything in relations to it.
There is a memorandum of understanding, which is a type of agreement between two or more parties. There are no tax implications on the transfer of sterling capital from one person to another.
Once capital gains tax is paid, your partner can give you, your 50%, without any tax implications. Your partner may have inheritance tax implications, as they were the legal owners of the property.
Please have a look at the guidance at (How Inheritance Tax works: thresholds, rules and allowances).

RE: Door to Door sales - Pitching Home Security Doors for Sole Trader
Hi
You may wish to consider forming a business partnership.
This is declared in the individual's self assessment tax return (SA100) on supplementary page SA104 (partnership) and on a partnership SA800 tax return each year.
Alternatively, you may wish to be subcontracted to this trader and declare your self employment income in a self assessment tax return.
We can only provide advice on personal tax in this forum. Limited companies fall under Corporate Tax, which we cannot advise on.

RE: Capital Gains on Stock Option Sales
Hi
You are correct. You pay income tax when the shares vest. If you retain the share and dispose of them at a later date, you may be subject to capital gains tax on the difference.
You have one year after the due date of your tax return to amend it (e.g. 2022 to 2023 return can be amended up to 31 January 2025).
Once the date for amendments has passed, you will need to submit an overpayment relief claim OPR).
There is a specific format for OPR claims, that must be followed. Please have a look at the guidance at SACM12150 - Overpayment relief: Form of claims.

RE: Tax on ESOP (Employee Stock Option) foreign income
Hi coffee73 Hopkins
Employees have to pay income tax on the difference with the fair market share price and the exercise price (profit made).
After acquiring the options, the employee would have the freedom to either sell the shares or keep them. Please see Tax and Employee Share Schemes.
If you sell/dispose of the shares you would have to consider the Capital Gains Tax position - HS287 Capital Gains Tax and employee share schemes (2024).
We cannot comment on the US tax position.
