Have applied for voluntary redundancy and wonder if somebody could shed some light on the tax details related to the lumpsum payment that I will receive from my employer. I believe it will be most favourable for my circumstances to use the SCSB formula referred to in some previous threads, however I wonder about the possibility to ‘boost’ the years of service which form part of the formula. Employment under my current contract will be about 4 years and 10 months at termination date, however prior to this employment I worked for the same company on a contract basis for a 6-month period, then went off to do something else for 15 months and then returned to the same company on my current (permanent) contract. Question is whether there is any chance the 6 months from the past could be added to the 4 years and 10 months (in spite of being off the payroll for 15 months), resulting in another complete year of service?
