i thought certain retirement gratuity was tax free?
Lets say compulsory at 56 years old
Served for 25 years
Therefore at 1 month pay @30k per year of service gratuity,
= 30 x 25 = 750K
Hows the taxation like?
Thanks
Schedule 6 (income exempted from tax) - para 25(1)(b) Income tax Act 1967:

the age of 55, or on reaching the compulsory age of
retirement from employment specified under any
written law and in either case from an employment
which has lasted ten years with the same employer
or with companies in the same group; or © if the retirement takes place on reaching the
compulsory age of retirement pursuant to a contract
of employment or collective agreement at the age of
50 but before 55 and that employment has lasted for
ten years with the same employer or with
companies in the same group:
