    Are you trying to work out your State Pension received for completion of a tax return? 

    If so, you work out 51 x the 2021/22 weekly rate and add it to 1 x the 2022/23 weekly rate.

    I don't think there is any situation where that would apply 😳.

    If you are completing the 2021:22 tax return it would be 1 week of the 2020:21 rate and 51 weeks of the 2021:22 rate.

    And for the 2022:23 return it it would be 1 week of the 2021:22 rate and 51 weeks of the 2022:23 rate.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Do you seriously think anyone at HMRC has the time or inclination to check whether a couple of days of state pension are included on this year's tax return or next year's instead?
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    This is spot on. Bigger fish to fry and less staff for frying anyway 😁
  • Wouldn't any payments be taxable in the tax year you receive them, irrespective of what dates the payments are for?

    That's certainly how it works with PAYE. When I was being paid every four weeks it was possible to be paid 14 times during one tax year, and you'd have to pay a bigger chunk of tax that tax year because of it.

    State Pension has different rules.

    See Taxable Amount section here,

    And even fewer members of staff who actually understand how to turn the fryer on or regulate the temperature.

    No, unlike earnings SP is taxed when it is due, not when you get the money which could be up to 4 weeks later.
