Wrong for pensioners to pay income tax? Feat. Cristo Foufas & Narinder Kaur | Jeremy Vine
Millions more pensioners will start paying income tax today, after an 8.5% increase to the state pension, which many had hoped would mean they had more money.
However, as the income tax threshold has been frozen it means many more could find themselves paying tax on their income.

@@Hellomynameis93 This is an interesting take, which I rather like. After thinking about it, I do believe it is incorrect in several ways. While it is technically correct that, by and large, people in work pay the pensions of retired people, it really is just a technicality, because, in reality, my personal payments influence the amount I receive, not the amount previous generations receive. In that sense, I am paying for entitlement to receive a certain amount after I stop working, it just happens to be the case that government uses that money to validate a similar entitlement in a previous generation. Second, while pensioners don't pay NI, pensions are funded both from NI and taxation, and some 65% of pensioners pay income tax, contributing not only to their own pensions, but to the pensions paid to people who have never worked. Third, it is a reasonable expectation of working people that they should receive a pension, having contributed to the pensions of others (the fair shares argument in ethics). The younger generations you suggest are paying for my pension expect to receive their fair share from the next generation, and so on. Finally, the argument that there aren't enough people to pay for the current generation of pensioners falls because government can (and does) choose to tax and spend that income exactly as it pleases, and because the UK population is growing. If the proportion of that population that is unable or unwilling to work is such that less people pay tax or NI, that is one thing. To say there aren't enough people to pay is quite another.

This woman says many pensioners are well off and should be taxed but there are a lot of parents who claim child allowance but don't need it..

If you need to pay something for 35 plus years in order to recieve something irs clearly not a benefit. If a company took money & told you that you that would recieve a payment in later life but instead spent it on whatever they like it would be regarded as fraud. Ni & tax was introduction in 1948 to pay for the pensiins & the NHS. It was not introduced to pay 4 star hotels for illegals. It was not introduced to pay foreign aid to rich countries like India. It was not introduced to pay for proxy wars. Its an entitlement if you bothered to work & pay your stamp.

All pensioners are rich? That's factually incorrect. Also we have the highest employment rate since records began. A massive no. of people that are out of work are out of work because they can't get the healthcare that they need, because the Tories have run down the NHS. If we had a properly functioning healthcare system many more people would be able to work, instead of waiting years in some cases to get the treatment they need.

That's true, but on the other hand, everyone contributes to society in some way, and taxes help fund essential services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

I think there should be some consideration for pensioners, especially those on fixed incomes. Perhaps there could be exemptions or deductions to ease the tax burden.

There are millions on welfare benefits getting income payments of over 20k a year and for some reason they are exempt from paying income tax, why? it is still income.
Why is the state pension £220 a week when the minimum wage is twice that . My tax code is now a K band , so I will pay taxes on my state pension What planet is this woman on , she must know a lot of very rich pensioners , wish I was one of them

well done you have worked out her agenda.
The Narinder talks rubbish if people live in a council house and spend the money on Luxury holidays and cars then have no saving and are kept by the state. Narinder implies that if you save your money you should give it up sham on her. the Freehold should be £14000. a year and should move with inflation.
Of course it’s not wrong, everyone has the same tax threshold. When paying into your pension those deposits are not taxed, basically the tax is deferred. The problem is the threshold has been frozen. Look to the government for this. It’s not difficult.
I don't know if many people know this but the so called OAP was changed to a benefit in 2016 and when it suits them they can change it illegally to a pension, so if they want to tax this welfare benefit they will have to tax all the people on benefits won't they, or are they just too scared to do it as it is all called income and it is all classed as benefits legally so it should all be taxed logically!!

I guarantee you that pensioners are getting WAY more out of the pension system than they put in. The VAST majority of people who have retired in the last 20 years won't have paid anywhere remotely close to £600 - £800pm in national insurance over their working contribution years.

@@benghiskahn3673 yes. Someone retiring today and living for 25 years in retirement will receive at least £250,000 in state pension, plus inflation. They won't have paid in anything like that amount. That's why the country is going broke and today's generation won't get a state pension.

I swear that lady speaks too much but usually clueless. Firstly, national insurance role is mainly to make people qualify for state benefits and state pension. These guys paid into it all their lives, they deserve it. They can't be made to suffer because of mismanagement.

No benefit is 'tax exempt'. If your income is above the tax threshold you will pay tax. That applies to earnings, pensions and benefits. State pension is a benefit, fact. Check the gov.uk website.
So do all those rich people in the House of Lords really need £332 a day
The state pension was already a tax - National Insurance- which we paid when we earned our wages and contributed to our pension. It should not be taxed twice !

Narinder is way off the mark here. Listen to the viewers which are supposedly the demographic of the country. Pension age is 66 for most workers. If you do not live in a multi-generational household it is very difficult.
5:10 So if pensioners who have saved up and paid their mortgage and have paid their taxes through the NI all life you should be given that money back. Why are we not talking about people who could work but do not and enjoy the free benifits of what those who have paid tax and contribuited.
I paid into the system all my life, The deal is/was work all your life & get a pension end of story
People have had to pay their mortgages off,they don’t get the houses they own for free.FFS.
Simple if they dont want to pay state pensions to these people then calculate how much national insurance they have paid and refund their money the pensioners shouldn't be punished for the incompetence of current government
If the pension is now a benefit, Then benefits are NOT TAXABLE

This woman is delusional if she thinks we have had it easier. We did not have anything given to us and we only purchased what we could afford. For the majority of us the only debt we had was a mortgage and believe me it was hard going to maintain the repayments. This was done by denying ourselves anything that was not essential.
