Labour has announced that individuals receiving the state pension will not be required to pay income tax during this parliamentary term if they do not have other sources of income. Rachel Reeves made this commitment clear, emphasizing the party’s stance on protecting pensioners.
"People receiving the state pension will not have to pay income tax in this parliament if they have no other earnings," said Rachel Reeves.
This approach aims to provide financial relief to pensioners who rely solely on the state pension, ensuring they are not taxed unnecessarily.
Labour’s policy reflects a focus on safeguarding low-income elderly citizens from additional fiscal burdens, which could influence future tax legislation.
