tax and pensions

Options
Just a quick question - i assume that you pay income tax on your pension in retirement at the same rates as you would on income earned while you are working but would appreciate it if someone could confirm this.
Thanks

    yes, you do pay tax on your pension .... however if you are over 65 you do get a higher personal allowance subject to an overall earnings limit

    If your earnings over 65 are above £21,800 there is also an addition taxation which under 65s dont have. Every £1 above £21,800 sees 50p of the age allowance removed.
