Options Trading Tutorial

What is the tax rate that you pay on employee stock options that sell when a new company buys you out?

Another compay is purchasing the compay I work for. All of the employees have stock. I heard we will be paid for them by the new buyer. What is the tax rate that I will have to pay and what can I do with the money to reduce my taxes?

1. I have attached a guide to stock options, but from what I've been reading they are taxed at your regular tax rate.
