Data for the 2023-24 tax year reveals more than 8.16 million taxpayers aged over 66, reaching state pension age, marking a sharp increase from 7.14 million the previous year. This rise coincides with increments in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) state pension, while key income tax thresholds have remained stagnant.
