Pension tax bombshell to be debated by MPs next month to double personal allowance
The petition has drawn 119,206 signatures and could save retirees thousands a year if MPs back the new tax code.
- MPs are set to debate a pension tax petition in Parliament on June 15, 2026, after the proposal secured more than 119,000 signatures triggering parliamentary consideration.
- Campaigners urge the Government to introduce a "double personal allowance" for state pensioners, arguing the current system means many retirees are "taxed unfairly."
- Most people earn up to £12,570 before paying income tax, yet analysts warn that frozen thresholds pull more retirees into the tax system annually.
- While the change could save thousands of pounds for pensioners, the Government has provided no guarantee it will adopt the petition's proposals.
- The debate addresses rising cost-of-living pressures on older Britons, with supporters able to view proceedings live on the Parliament YouTube channel.
