UK pensioners must file tax returns if they work or earn more than £12,570 in State Pension.

UK pensioners usually don't need to file tax returns if their income is solely from the State Pension and under £12,570. Those with private pensions have taxes deducted via PAYE. If the State Pension exceeds £12,570, HMRC sends a Simple Assessment Tax Bill. Working or self-employed pensioners must file a Self Assessment tax return by January 31, 2025. Additional income sources may also require filing. HMRC offers guidance for specific situations.
