Retirement termination payment in April - excess tax?

[Incredulum]

An individual is receiving a significant payment in his final, April, pay packet.

Needless to say PAYE assumes this one twelfth of his annual salary and so the tax is painful.

Is there a way to get the tax back more quickly than either in his tax return, or by making him a £1 salary payment for the next 11 months?

Thanks

Not sure how he can get paid £1 if his employment has ceased? If not ceased, why £1. You could use £0.

If permanently ceased it’s a p50
