Tax Allowance Freeze Pushes More Into Tax | Sheffield News

The personal tax allowance, frozen at £12,570 since 2021, is forcing more people—especially low earners and pensioners—into income tax, as wages rise and the threshold doesn’t. Experts warn millions may soon need to file tax returns. Options include a universal hike to £16,072 (adjusted for inflation) or a targeted boost for pensioners struggling with stagnant incomes and soaring costs. Real stories reveal the human cost: a pensioner pushed over the line by a part-time job, a teacher barely scraping by on a small pension. A full raise for all would cost £35 billion, but the choice is clear—action is needed before more families drown in tax.
