Tax and NI on redundancy
Posted: February 12th, 2019, 1:33 pm
I've decided to take voluntary redundancy at the end of march ( The redundancy payment will be paid end of April in the 2019/20 tax year)
Im trying to work out what the tax will be and if there's any NI due
The money is paid in 2 parts £40k for redundancy and an further payment of £10k for buying out some rights from when I was transferred under TUPE a few years ago ( shown on the agreement as enhanced redundancy pay)
know the first £30k of redundancy is tax free, so I have potentially £20k to pay tax on- as I will not receive any wages in that tax year ,should I only get taxed on £7.5k of the redundancy? this would use up my full tax allowance but as I'm living off cash in the bank this wont matter , or would my employer be expected to deal with the tax differently - if so do I have to claim it back from the tax man?
also Ive heard a few things about NI - I understand that I dont pay NI on any redundancy , but the company pays their NI - can someone confirm this is correct
