由于冻结的税限和不断上升的养老金,到2030年,多达1 000万英国养恤金领取者可能会面临所得税。 Up to 10 million UK pensioners may face income tax by 2030 due to frozen tax thresholds and rising pensions.

一份新报告警告,如果政府维持目前冻结个人所得税门槛值的做法,到2030年,多达1 000万英国养恤金领取者将面临所得税。 A new report warns that up to 10 million UK pensioners could face income tax by 2030 if the government maintains the current freeze on the personal income tax threshold. 由于三层锁而导致国家养恤金不断上涨,再加上通货膨胀,使得更多的退休人员被推到免税津贴之外。 Rising state pensions due to the triple lock, combined with inflation, are pushing more retirees above the tax-free allowance. 目前,约有870万养恤金领取者缴纳税款,这一数字预计将大幅增长,特别是由于更多的人领取了增加的新国家养恤金。 Currently, about 8.7 million pensioners pay tax, a number expected to grow significantly, especially as more receive the increased new state pension. 如果不进行调整,税收门槛值无法跟上生活成本,可能导致广泛的税收负债,即使对那些有固定收入的人也是如此。 Without adjustment, the tax threshold’s failure to keep pace with living costs could lead to widespread tax liabilities, even for those on fixed incomes.
