Tax on redundancy pay

Hello HMRC Community, I understand that the first £30K of a redundancy package is tax-free. Three questions: 1) Is it exempt from NI as well or just exempt from the income tax? 2) Does it count towards the total income for the year? (e.g., if I were to receive £30K redundancy pay + £80K from other sources, would my net adjusted income be £110K or just £80K?) 3) I assume that any excess above £30K is treated as normal income? (i.e. subject to income tax, NI and counting towards income for a given tax year) Thank you for your help!

Hi,

1. For advice on National Insurance (NI) you will need to contact our NI team. National Insurance: general enquiries
2. If non taxable it will not count towards adjusted net income.
3. Yes, the taxable element will be taxed as normal. 

Thank you.

Thank you
