    Yes you would pay tax as your personal allowance remains the same in retirement as it does whilst working.

    Yes, you pay tax on income over the personal allowance think it's around £11k at present, also remember your pension contributions were not taxed.

    if you retire next April 6th when you have a full year's Personal allowance available I make it you would have £1831 after tax.
