GB News: State pension warning as 'retirement tax' leaves thousands of Britons facing financial 'cliff-edge'
Starting today, hundreds of thousands of pensioners in the UK will face income tax as the state pension increases to £11,973, pushing an estimated 650,000 retirees over the frozen tax threshold of £12,570 by 2025/26. This rise, attributed to the "triple lock" system, has been termed a "retirement tax."
The freeze on income tax thresholds since 2021, coupled with pension increases, has led to millions of pensioners becoming taxpayers for the first time. A petition to raise the personal allowance limit to £20,000 has gained over 200,000 signatures, prompting a parliamentary debate.
