Chapter 9
Tax
[ch 9: page 86]A payment received as compensation for unfair dismissal under a settlement agreement is tax free up to £30,000, even if the employee is reinstated, as long as it is genuinely compensation for loss of the job rather than earnings or a payment for services (HM Inspector of Taxes v Clayton [2005] IRLR 108).
