Article summary

Tax analysis: In L v HMRC, the First-tier Tax Tribunal (FTT) held that the part of a settlement payment which related to a discrimination claim fell outside the scope of income tax. This was on the basis that the payment was not ‘from employment’; instead it was made because the discrimination had deprived the former employee of the opportunity to perform her full role, causing financial loss.
