Pensioner occupied government
HOW NEW STATE PENSION TAX ALLOWANCE WILL WORK:
From April 2027, if your total annual income is not more than full new State Pension (£13,037/yr) you will not pay tax. So this is £94 extra tax free.
If your total income is slightly higher then for every £3 you earn above, you lose £1 of this extra allowance.
So if you earn £13,186 (£150 above) you would get a 'Pension Tax Allowance' meaning you pay £44ish less tax than otherwise (ie £94 minus £50)
So by total income of £13,319 you won't receive any extra allowance. HMRC will automatically apply this allowance you will not need to claim it.
I will explain better on my show tomorrow. Rushing this now #budget2026
