Were you a contractor or full time staff?
I don't think a company has to pay you redundancy if you have worked for them for less that two years and then it is something stupid like £200 for every year you have worked for them, anything more is up to them.
I got made redundant about 4 years ago, I was paid about £5K which included my final months salary and I was taxed on a percentage of it.
Good luck anyway Mark, it's a horrible feeling but I'm sure it will work out for you.
