William Hill to close 200 UK betting shops next month amid tax pressures5 apr.
“From the beginning of April, the new state pension is going to go up by £575 a year, and over the course of this Parliament, it is forecast that the new state pension will be £2,000 a year higher by the end of the forecast, because of this Government's commitment to the triple lock. The previous Government froze the income tax thresholds. It is in those years—for those freezes—that the new state pension will come into income tax if nothing is done, but I have committed to do something. We are working on how that will work at the moment, but we have been clear that, if your only income is from the new state pension, you will not be subject to income tax during the course of this Parliament. We will set out details later this year on how that will happen.”
