flag UK pensioners face tax on state pensions as allowance limit nearly met; petition for raise debated.

flag Thousands of UK pensioners will face income tax on their state pensions due to the full state pension rising to £11,973, close to the £12,570 tax-free personal allowance. flag A petition with over 200,000 signatures calls for the personal allowance to be raised to £20,000 to help low earners and pensioners, which will be debated in Parliament on May 12. flag However, the government has no plans to increase the allowance, citing fiscal costs and the impact on public services.
