How RSUs are apportioned across countries of service when you have moved

RSU income is often sourced to the countries where you worked between grant and vest, not only to the country you live in on vest day.

TL;DR — Key Takeaways

  • →Country of service means where you performed the work the grant paid for.
  • →Allocate the vest by workdays in each country during the vesting period.
  • →A broker portal shows shares. It does not show the country split.
  • →Treat the split as a planning estimate. Equity treaties and payroll practice vary.

Short answer

When RSUs vest after you have moved, part of the income can still belong to the country where you worked while the award was vesting. The vest-date location is not automatically the only source country.

How people allocate it

  1. Take the grant-to-vest period.
  2. Count workdays in each country during that period.
  3. Spread the vesting income in proportion to those days.
  4. Ask payroll which countries they will withhold for. Your estimate and their statement should be compared, not assumed to match.

Domicyle Premium RSU apportionment estimates that workday split for planning conversations. It is not a payroll filing and it does not apply every treaty variation.
