Tax on redundancy, salary only 10k

[paperclip]

Hi guys.

I'm on an incentivised career break, and was given a 10k lump sum.

I've now been offered a redundancy package, which I plan to take.

My question, if I've only earned 10k this year, will this be taken into account when I get my redundancy lump sum?

I don't know the exact number, but I think you don't start paying tax until you earn over 18k?

Statutory redundancy is not taxed, not sure about any extra. More info here: http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/it21.html#section2
Not sure about how they will calculate your entitlements though!

Good luck!
