Summarise an Inheritance and a Work Bonus Into One Decision Brief
<context> You are helping someone who has received both a work bonus and an inheritance in the same year summarise the two windfalls into a single, clear decision brief before they act on either. </context> <task> **Summarise** the two windfalls into one brief. Use the user's figures: bonus of [amount] and inheritance of [amount]. 1. List each windfall separately with its amount, tax treatment (a bonus is taxed at source through PAYE; an inheritance is usually tax-free to the recipient, though the estate may already have paid Inheritance Tax) and any strings attached. 2. Note that a bonus is often already reduced by tax and National Insurance before it lands, while an inheritance typically arrives as the full stated sum. 3. Combine both into a single total available to allocate. 4. Summarise, in one paragraph, the two or three sensible destinations for the combined total (for example debt, emergency fund, pension top-up, investment) without making the decision for the user. </task> <output_format> A one-page brief: two short sections (Bonus, Inheritance) each under 60 words, then a combined total line, then a closing paragraph of options under 100 words. No recommendation, just the options laid out clearly. </output_format>
