Petition to stop tax on DWP State Pension reaches more than 79,000 signatures

  • A petition to stop taxing the State Pension has gained over 79,000 signatures, initiated by Dennis Reed for Silver Voices.
  • The full State Pension will increase by £470 to £11,973 next month, which is just below the tax threshold of £12,570.
  • Colette has seen her combined pension exceed the tax threshold, resulting in taxation on her payments, which Reed states could lead to poverty for pensioners.
  • Reed argues that if the basic State Pension is taxed, it undermines the safety net intended to cover essential living costs.
