Can’t comment on the media stuff mate,as I don’t watch or listen to the media a great deal but it really boils my piss the seemingly double taxation of your pension
I read that mate,fair enough it’s just the frustration of paying into the system all your working life then still coming back for more in retirement
I agree it’s frustrating mate, that’s why I believe the threshold should be raised to take the lower paid out of paying tax. I remember in the 70s the highest tax was 98 pence in the pound, if I remember correctly.
Don't know what you mean by double taxation of pensions vic, my pension isn't double taxed, my income over my personal allowance, currently £12570, is taxed; like it has been all through my working life.
My pension was non-contributory Rooch, but I think you are right, normally pension contributions are taken before income tax so you don't pay tax on them.
