Pensioners: Taxation

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people of pension age in (a) Newport East constituency and (b) Wales will pay more in tax as a result of the Government's decision to implement a six-year freeze on personal allowances.

Answer

The Government does not publish this information.

The Government is committed to ensuring that older people are able to live with the dignity and respect they deserve.

The Personal Allowance is currently set at a level high enough to ensure that those pensioners whose sole income is the new State Pension or basic State Pension do not pay any income tax.
