PAYE problems for pensioners

January 14, 2011

Many of the inaccuracies in PAYE reconciliations for retired people involve the mistakes with government–generated information such as:
· Inclusion of non-taxable state benefits;
· Incorrect State Pension figure;
· State pension included even where it had been deferred; and
· Married couple allowance not restricted to 10%.

Non-taxable state benefits include the pensioners Christmas bonus, the winter fuel payment and the attendance allowance. If you are puzzled by the PAYE reconciliation you have received, please talk to us.
