This surge in pensioner taxpayers results from rules frozen since 2021-22, ahead of an anticipated update in 2027. Recent data from Labour Party tax authorities reveal that nearly three million more pensioners have been drawn into the tax system since the tax-free personal allowance was frozen at £12,570.
