Hi to all,can some help please? I have taken voluntary redundancy, i have worked for my employer for eight years and will recieve the maximum weekly limit of £350.00, 8 weeks +4 totalling to12 weeks pay all in. I will receive a week and a halfs pay for each complete year of employment totalling to £4,200 + i will recive any holiday pay on top of this which i may be entiltled to. Can anyone tell me if i will be taxed on the lump sum of 4,200? As i'm very confused...

Assuming you have nothing in your contract about redundancy pay, the first £30k is tax free. Holiday pay is taxable.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0

If in your contract it says "upon being made redundant, we will pay you xx amount of weeks in lue of notice", then this money is a contractual payment and is therefore taxable as if it was income earned (called pay in lue of notice or PILON).
The week and a halfs pay for each year worked is not going to be taxable, but I think (could be wrong) the 12 weeks pay plus remaining holiday pay will be.0
