UK state pension set to rise to £13,036 as Budget plans shield low-income retirees from tax

  • The full UK state pension is expected to rise by 3.9 per cent to £13,036 a year from April.
  • A proposed tax-free allowance of £13,036 could shield nearly a million low-income pensioners from income tax.
  • The Chancellor is also reportedly shelving plans to reduce the maximum tax-free pension lump sum.

Nearly a million pensioners in the UK could be spared income tax under plans expected to be announced in the Budget, as an increase in the state pension threatens to push more people above the existing tax-free threshold.

The full new state pension is expected to rise by 3.9 per cent to £13,036.40 a year from April. Under current rules, that would put it above the £12,570 personal allowance, the amount most people can earn before paying income tax.
