Voluntary retirement scheme receipts were discussed as capital receipts where the scheme expressly treated cessation of employment as voluntary resignation rather than employer-initiated termination. The notes state that voluntary retirement and termination of employment are separately recognised under the Act; therefore, section 56(2)(xi), which covers compensation or other payments connected with termination or modification of employment conditions, did not apply.
