Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the answer of 4 December 2025 to WPQ 95612, whether the (a) new style and (b) old style State Pension payable in 2027 where both categories have a gross income of £13,000 as a result of the old style pension recipient having a small personal pension will be precluded from paying income tax.

As I set out in my answer to WPQ 95612, the Chancellor has said that over this Parliament those whose only income is the basic or new State Pension without any increments will not have to pay income tax.

The government will set out more details next year.
