Tax Return

[gloop]

Hi,

I was made redundant in February and as the company I was working for became insolvent I didn't receive wages for that month. I have, however just received the pay with the tax taken off.

I fill out a tax return and know I need to add this amount I received into the employment section. I wasn't sure where to add it in the form so rang the helpline and they said to add it to the amounts on the p45 I received.

I just want to know if I add in holiday pay too and if anyone has had to do this before. It's probably a stupid question but I hate doing tax returns and this all just confuses me.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Payments for holiday pay are taxable too so you must include them.
Payments made under the redundancy legislation (for example statutory redundancy) are not taxable, up to �30k. But I assume that you are referring to your money in lieu of notice.

Thanks for your answer. As far as I know I'm not entitled to any redundancy pay as I was employed there for less than a year. The pay I mentioned was just wages for February that I have only just received, which is taxable. Usually on my tax return I copy amounts straight from my p45 but now I have to add this amount too that I have just received. It's just confused me a bit!
