sorry for your prediciment.
Statutory redundancy will always be tax free.
You need to check out the revenue leaflet regarding termination payments (thinks its it21?).
As i understand it, you will get statuory tax free, and the next 10k also tax free plus I think its 765 for each full years service tax free also.
After that you can claim an additional 10k if you have not claimed it in the last 10 years. I suspect on one pension only.
I'm not an accountant but if your payment will be over the basic tax free elements above, might be worth spendin an hour talking through the tax options with a qualified person? It'll probably save you money.
