Compromise Agreement Solicitors – Taxation of Termination Pay

November 7th, 2009 · 4 Comments · About Compromise Agreement Blog, Basic Rate of Tax, Compromise Agreement Solicitors, Compromise Agreements, Settlement Payment, Signing Compromise Agreements, Taxation, Termination Date, Termination Payment

We are still being asked about taxation of Settlement Payment or some people refer to it as Termination Payment.

The correct advice is that the first £30,000 of an employee’s Termination Payment will be paid without deduction of income tax in accordance with section 403 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003. If an employee’s Settlement or Termination Payment is over £30,000, then your employer will make deductions of income tax at the basic rate of 20% in respect of the balance of the Termination Payment over £30,000.

RT Coopers Solicitors can advise you in this regard. Contact enquiries@rtcooperssolicitors.com for a meeting or more specialist advice. We will give you an indication of our costs.

    What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.

    Very helpful.

    Does that mean that this is the total liability for tax or if this takes the employee into a higher tax bracket does he have to pay the additional tax above the basic rate?
