Earned Income and State Retirement Pensions: Taxation

Asked by Matt BishopLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 14 February 2025UIN 29131

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will take steps to ensure that (a) self-employed people and (b) employees are not subject to higher taxation on both their earnings and state pension.

Answered by James Murray

At Autumn Budget 2024 we made no changes to the rates of income tax, which means employed and self-employed people will see no increase in the rate of income tax that apply to their earnings or state pension income.
