Exempt the state pension from tax for everyone over the age of 67

Exempt the state pension from tax for everyone over the age of 67 — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Make the state pension taxable exempt exempt for every pensioner not just those on low incomes .

Additional details

Currently under the latest budget announcement, those whose only income is the state pension will not pay tax on the state pension. However, those who have worked and saved for an occupational pension (often without choice thanks to government legislation) will pay tax on both their occupational AND state pension - which is grossly unfair to those who have worked and saved
