Statutory redundancy at the 2026/27 cap
Applies the £751 weekly cap from SI 2026/310 and the 1.5 / 1 / 0.5 week age bands of ERA 1996 s.162, with the 20-year and 2-year service limits.
PILON kept outside the £30,000
Treats pay in lieu of notice as taxable earnings carrying full employer Class 1 NIC, instead of hiding it inside the £30,000 exemption.
Class 1A on the excess over £30,000
Charges employer Class 1A at 15% on the part of the redundancy and ex-gratia pot that exceeds the £30,000 ITEPA 2003 s.403 threshold.
