Original Note:
The current UK basic state pension is £169.50 per week - £8,814 per year. This is below the current UK Personal Allowance of £12,570 so no tax is payable. Labour have ruled out increases to income tax and there is no evidence they plan to lower the Personal Allowance. https://www.gov.uk/state-pension/how-much-you-get#:~:text=The%20full%20basic%20State%20Pension,the%20new%20State%20Pension%20instead. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-69063581.amp
