Received a payment (supporting fund) from former employer
Dear Sir/Madam, I relocated to Northern Ireland from Hong Kong since July 2021. I have terminated my job in Hong Kong at that time. Last year, I received a money (HKD$30,000 approximately) from my former employer which is called “Relief Measures under the Anti-epidemic Fund”. That fund is tax exemptions in Hong Kong. The fund is related to my former job before July 2021 and delayed to be paid to me. Kindly can I have your advise on this fund should it be tax free in UK and do I need to declare in my tax assessment? Yours sincerely
