We are about to be offered voluntary redundancy and i am trying to work out what i will get after tax.
We are going to be offered 4 weeks per year ( which i assume to be gross?) so 4 weeks gross amounts to 5,384.
I started employment in Jan 03 so i am into my eight year ( 7 full years). Do i get 7 or 8 years? ( x 7 = 37,688, x 8 = 43,072)
From the citizens info site i see there is a basic excemption for the first 10,160 and then 765 for each year so i would have 10,160 + (765*8) = 16,280 tax free
It then states there is Increased Excemption of 10,000 in the following circumstances
If you haven't received a tax-free lump sum in the last 10 years
If you have never received a tax-free lump sum and you are not getting a lump sum pension payment
So can i take it that this will be added to my tax free amount giving me 26,280??
So say i am entitled to 8 years this would give me tax free of 26,280 and taxed amount of (43,072-26280)= 16,792 which would be taxed at an average of the last 3 years ( say 35%?? without looking at my P60 i would say it is near that) so tax paid of 16,792x35=5877.20
So total payment would be 43,072-5,877.20= 37,194
Can someone tell if i have read it right or wrong
