Yes, the 12 months will count, and you may be eligible for the discount. As for how much tax you'll pay, we couldn't do a calculation for you here, but I can let you know you'll pay tax on the discount. This is the difference between the market value of the shares and the amount you paid to buy.   Check out a similar post (https://community.ato.gov.au/s/question/a0JRF0000009A1m2AE/p00255717?referrer=a0N9s000000DacDEAS) and its info and our ESS and capital gains tax (https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/corporate-tax-measures-and-assurance/employee-share-schemes/employees/ess-and-your-tax/ess-and-capital-gains-tax) further info.
