Treatment of tax free redundancy payment of subsequently rehired?

Options
Hello

Quick one, the organisation that made my role redundant 8 months ago is potentially looking to rehire me as a contractor in a different role.

From HMRCs perspective, could this have any impact on the tax free redundancy settlement that I previously received from them?

Thanks

    No is to short to post, so no!

    Thank you!

    Interesting though as you might think that it would open up a loophole for employers/employees to collude to avoid tax through rinse and repeat redundancy and rehire situations...

    It's you who is "avoiding" tax, not the employer. And the loss of all your employment rights isn't worth colluding over!
