Contracting for your old employer?

Hi,

I was made redundant last August and have recently been asked to go back to my old employer as a contractor to finish off some remaining tasks.
I have signed up to an umberella company, and I work for them. The umbarella company charges my old employer, and works out all my tax and NI, and then pays my wage.
Does anybody know where I stand regarding tax - specifically on the redundancy payment I was made last year?

Thanks in advance,

APR90

    Your redundancy payment shouldn't be an issue, they are tax free.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
