Can I ask a question on the revenue issue. Why is the airline paying this?
Surely it should be the people who got the redundancy that should be paying this? Genuine question.
If there is a tax deduction to be made in relations to these redundancies surely its the person who received it that is liable. Even if the airline chooses to pay this out of goodwill or whatever, then essentially the employees are getting money tax free. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick somewhere.?
