I am due to receive R55000 settlement from my ex-employer following a CCMA award. How much tax will I pay and how much am I due to receive?

What was the cause of the settlement? The reason for the large payout?

It is a settlement that my employer has to pay me as a result of a labour dispute (unfair dismissal).

Your award should carry no tax as it falls below the threshold for lump sum purposes.
