Settlement agreement lump sum taxes threshold

Hi, What is the tax to be paid on an amount of £60000 received by a former employer as a settlement agreement. I understand the first £30.000 are tax free but it seems that the remaining £30.000 have been taxed at a 40% rate and also excluding the personal allowance of £12,570. Please could you advice.

Hi ,
 

Thank you for your enquiry. We are unable to advise the amount of tax due on termination payments to employees. You should contact the non statutory clearance team by completing the Annex A form. They can avise you further. I have attached a link to the Annex A form and their email address is shown on the form. See :  Non-Statutory Clearance Service guidance: annexes  . Thank you .
