    A similar thing has happened to me and I have been advised by my employers that if I start a new job within 30 days of taking my VR then I will have to pay tax on the whole package. Not sure if it's a redundancy thing or a VR thing?

    The first £30k is tax free regardless. Take it from me, I got redundancy on a Friday and started a new job on the Monday. Only the excess of the redundancy pay over £30k was taxed. Indeed the fisrt £30k was not mentioned on the P45, as it is not taxable.

    As them to show you which bit of legislation or HMRC tax guidance says this.

    I bet they can't find any.
