I'm making the assumption that there is a tax advantage in taking the shares. I guess that's still a benefit and likely to see tax applied, but when would it be applied I wonder? How do they tax shares and if I moved it straight into a pension fund (if possible) would I avoid that tax or at least delay it?

If the cash is more or less the same value as the shares, and there's no tax advantage either way, why not just take the cash and bung that in the SIPP?
