    I don't suspect for a moment I'm more than you as I earn under the average wage I was merely saying you were underpaid (I'm sure you agree) :
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    For somebody who seems to spend their entire work day on here, you're working your socks off, congratulations!

    It may seem good on the surface, but if you can't sell them for three years, then expect to be extra-poor for a bit...

    ...because next month they'll tax you on the value of those shares.

    I don't think so

    You don't pay any tax on shares given to you through an SIP. My understanding of tax law in this country says that if you keep the shares in the SIP then you don't pay any Capital Gains Tax.
