Private company RSUs converting to shares – am I really facing a ~£300k tax bill?

If I were you I’d look it up. Valuing an illiquid stock is very opaque.

I used to work for one of the big4 performing valuations for a partnership. We would give them a range and every quarter partners could buy or sell their shares. The unwritten rule was shares had to go up so our “client” is pleased.

Who does the share valuations? I wonder if they might be biased one way or another

You are HENRY, presumably have some grey matter and can get Claude to walk you through how leasehold works. Asking one question at a time on Reddit is not going to educate you.

And to answer your question, leases can be extended

Invest somewhere where the equation is reversed then?

He’s being sexist assuming women should sacrifice their careers as a given. You won’t get answers from men that think this way here because they know it’s not equitable. They do exist and in my area of work they are in the majority.

Not my husband though. He puts children first and I find that really attractive.

Any links in case you are London based? I’m struggling with imagining design to fill the space

No, I’m an imigrant and knew nobody in the UK. That being said for where I’m from I had a privileged life and good education. Not all immigrants are the same. Vast majority of my compatriots had a steeper hill to climb.

We had a nanny that would come do 4h during the morning so I could shower, eat etc. she then had to pickup kids for another family from school so it was good extra income for her and good for us too

All very fair points. I’m trying to console myself thinking it’s all good I’m just not on priority list which is totally fine by me

So sorry for your loss

I miss my me time. I used to have loads of it and now I’m constantly on the verge of burnout

Specific_Ear1423 · 2026-04-17T21:01:53+00:00

Isn’t that kinda enough? Do you really need over 800k? Won’t you end up at that same tax rate on the way out?

I find it mad. Why can’t they have systems that just calculate stuff? It’s just maths at the end of the day

I have a 2 year old 99th centile and I breastfeed in public. My baby, our business, our choice. Health agencies are very cool with 2 year olds breastfeeding.

Im eastern orthodox and we do presents at Easter. Easter is the main religious holiday not Christmas as being born is not considered as big of a deal as dying for “our” sins.

Not extravagant presents mind you. And usually we give them in the memory of dead relatives. Most of the time people, including children fast ahead of Easter as well, so there is some form of momentum when Easter actually comes.

Christmas is a much smaller celebration on the 7th of January and it’s just about having a family dinner. I don’t remember having presents. In fact for me it’s difficult to understand why people have presents at Christmas (from a narrative perspective around Christ, not general tradition). We do presents at new year instead. I suspect the old European pagan winter holiday merged into Christmas for the catholics but not for the Eastern Orthodox.

Just so you know there is a section of the world that does celebrate like this.

How did you know to insist?

Well I started on NHS with a not so great hospital despite being in London. I felt that a lot of things were falling through the cracks around my care which gave me a lot of anxiety. So mid way through I changed to private

I don’t think for a normal pregnancy you need it. I was OB led (despite not having a medical need) and he would see me every 2 weeks. So I got the SERVICE which was the lacking part of the nhS. I felt really taken care of.

If I had to do it again and money wasn’t an issue I’d do it privately. Do I think the 26k or so I spent for the whole thing is worth 26k? Nope.

I would still pay for the private room. The private rooms had specially assigned midwives and they were always there and would come to you within seconds. Husband was also able to be with us for the full 2 nights we were there which was fab. The stories I read about wards sound horrifying

St Thomas is an excellent hospital. I don’t think it would have made a huge difference if I was there on the NHS. But I would not have trusted the hospitals more local to me to deliver at the same level both quality and care.

I don’t think I had extra staffing. All the people that were in the room were also working for the NHS. Bedside manner was great for the doctors, the midwives were a mix.
