Another one I heard from Martin Lewis yesterday evening, pensioners will not have to pay income tax on their state pension, even if/when the pension exceeds the 20% tax threshold, which it will do in 2027.
However, they will have to pay tax on their occupational pension.

A few weeks ago on here, i asked about my occupational pension which is very close to running down. Thanks for the replies and advice too. The question i now ask is what the DWP now class as 'state pension'. Years ago i decided to stay in the old SERPS pension scheme instead of putting extra into the company scheme, when it went from a final salary to a "money purchase" scheme. This has left me quite a reasonable weekly amount which is well over the £12,570 pa tax threshold. Will the DWP class the extra i receive as part of my pension or tax me on that part?    Haven't heard any comments on the media regarding this situation.

The £12570 tax limit will be in place until 2031.....by which time the state pension will probably be around £15000. I can't see the difference remaining untaxed for that long.

It will be in place unless the various parties start making promises prior to 2029.

That's not much of a change. It's all been taxed at the lower threshold previously.

None of my state pension has ever been taxed, and it won't be until 2029 at least.

According to you, I'll be dead by then

Rachel is well known for changing her mind, and the goal posts.

It will be government policy until it isn't.....and that could be next week.

The whole budget was an unprofessional farce.

Almost certainly, and for a few years.

As I said pages ago, I couldn't care less I will carry on as before, the British way 🇬🇧

But I won't be investing in any British stocks.

Only bonus I see from the mansion Tax is that anyone considering buying a £2,000,000 house will be in a position the negotiate the price down.

There is a house 2 villages away from me that went on the market 18 months ago for £3M, Didn't sell, dropped by £250k 3 times.  Now £2M so any buyers now are in a good position to kick them in the nuts with an offer.
