I have been accepted for voluntary redundancy from my company and, on the strength of that, then accepted the offer of a one year contract from another division within the company. They are different P&L centres, trading under different names with different management teams.
Now that I have accepted the new contract, my employer claims I am ineligible for the redundancy payout. I have two questions. 1. Is this the case? and 2. would taking the redundancy money leave me with a tax liability?
