flag UK pensioners receiving only the full State Pension won’t owe income tax in 2026 due to a tax-free personal allowance.

flag Pensioners in the UK receiving only the full New or Basic State Pension will not owe income tax in 2026, as the personal allowance of £12,570 remains above the annual State Pension amount. flag The full New State Pension will rise to £241.30 per week, and the Basic State Pension to £184.90, effective April 6, 2026. flag The government confirmed no pensioner will need to file a tax return solely due to State Pension income, fulfilling a pledge by Chancellor Rachel Reeves. flag Tax applies only if total income exceeds the personal allowance, but those with only State Pension income will remain tax-free.
