This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government
Petition Retirement Pensions should not be taxed
Pension is a form of savings towards a persons retirement.
It is unfair for people to be inadvertently double taxed because they pay tax on salaries and also pay tax on their pension.
More details
During working age / service years people pay tax on each monthly salary and from these same monthly salary pensions are deducted.
