The annual allowance is tapered for taxpayers whose income exceeds £260,000 (2022-23: £240,000). The allowance will reduce by £1 for every £2 that an individual’s income exceeds £260,000 (2022-23: £240,000), down to a minimum of £10,000 (2022-23: £4,000).

**Retirees that reached the State Pension age before 6 April 2016, continue to receive the Old State Pension and not the New State Pension.
