EIM13520 - Termination payments and benefits: Section 401 ITEPA 2003: £30,000 threshold: payments and benefits received on or after 6 April 1998

Section 404(5) ITEPA 2003

For payments and benefits received on or after 6 April 1998, the rule is that the £30,000 threshold is applied in the following order:

• first, against cash benefits as they are received in the year and
• second, against the aggregate of non-cash benefits at the end of the year (this can be relevant to an employer considering whether the PAYE Regulations apply to a payment).

See example EIM13955.

If a payment or benefit is received (see EIM13110) before 6 April 1998, SE13510 explains how to work out how the £30,000 is set off.
