Indemnity insurance tax

I have received a sum of money from the indemnity insurance I had for a previous home/mortgage. I have received a cheque from the insurance company and something called a “Chargeable Event Certificate”.

On the chargeable even certificate it says:
"Amount of gain rounded down": £17602
"Amount of tax treated as paid rounded up": £3521

Does this mean I have to pay £3521? If so is there anyway I can reduce this?

Thank you so much to anyone who can help me. I would really be grateful!

    Indemnity insurance

    Can you explain further? When and why did you take out this policy?
    You are sure that this is not some form of life policy?
    As far as I knew this type of policy was taken out by a mortgagee to protect its interest in case of mortgagor default?
    Were you the creditor in a mortgage transaction?
