Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Secretary of State for Work and Pensions during the Westminster Hall Debate of 15 June 2026 on State Pensioners Personal Allowance, Column 270WH, whether further measures to reduce administration for pensioners so that they do not have to pay small amounts of tax via simple assessment from 2027-28 will be announced in the forthcoming Finance Bill.

In line with the commitment made at Budget 2025, pensioners whose incomes only just exceed the Personal Allowance will not have the administrative burden of paying small amounts of tax in this Parliament.

The Government will set out further detail at Budget 2026.
