What has changed

The state pension continues to rise under the triple lock, but with personal allowances frozen, more pensioners now find part of their pension is taxable.

Who it affects

Pensioners, especially those with income close to the personal allowance.

What you should do

Check your total income against the personal allowance, and plan other income sources to manage any tax on your pension.

Our view

More pensioners are quietly being drawn into paying tax. A quick review of total income can avoid surprises.
