My husband works in construction and has been made redundant and has been given 2 weeks notice. His finishing date is 30th June. His pay week is from the 26th June to 2nd July. He is owed a substantial pay out and we are being told it will roll over into the new financial year which is exactly what we want. Do you think this will be the case?

Hi Sue, it will come down to what the employer puts on the group certificate. If the payout comes in this payslip it should carry over to the new financial year but will come down to the employers discretion to what year it is included in for income and tax purposes.
I would ask for confirmation in writing that it will be included in the 2017 financial years income and not 2016s.
