We support pensioners and retirees across the UK with clear, reliable tax advice and compliance services. Retirement often brings changes in income sources and tax treatment, and understanding how pensions, savings, and other income are taxed is essential to avoid unexpected liabilities.
Our services are designed for individuals who want reassurance that their retirement income is taxed correctly and that any reporting obligations are handled accurately and on time.
How Pensioners and Retirees Are Normally Taxed
In retirement, income is commonly received from several sources, each taxed differently.
Typically, retirement income may include:
• State Pension (taxable, but paid without tax deducted)
• Workplace or private pensions (often taxed under PAYE)
• Annuity income
• Drawdown pension income
• Savings interest
• Investment or dividend income
• Property or rental income
Because the State Pension is paid gross, many pensioners are required to pay tax through PAYE adjustments or Self Assessment.
When Retirement Tax Affairs Become More Complex
Tax matters for pensioners and retirees can become more complex where there are:
• Multiple pension sources
• State Pension combined with PAYE pension income
• Incorrect or outdated tax codes
• Savings or investment income above allowances
• Property or rental income
• Pension lump sums or drawdown arrangements
• Overseas pensions or income
• Underpaid or overpaid tax identified by HMRC
In these cases, additional reporting or a Self Assessment tax return may be required.
