How many pensioners pay tax?
Around 1.2 million pensioners already pay income tax, even with the current personal allowance of £12,570. This Budget measure aims to prevent an additional million from joining them next year, focusing on those whose only income is the state pension. Those with private pensions will still pay tax on their extra income.
