- Unbiased founder Karen Barrett said an income-tax rise alongside a National Insurance cut could make tax reductions harder for state pensioners.
- Barrett said the state pension is rising while the personal allowance stays unchanged; pensioners face income tax on it from 2027.
- Media reports suggest the National Insurance cut may apply only below £50,270 in annual earnings; higher- and additional-rate taxpayers would then not benefit.
- Lucy Powell warned that abandoning tax pledges could erode trust; Steve Reed said Labour was delivering its manifesto.
“This adds more pressure onto pensioners, as they face paying income tax on their state pension from 2027.”— Karen Barrett, founder of Unbiased, on the potential impact of the tax changes on pensioners.
