Pension has decreased.

Post by andyP »

Can anyone advise me, my monthly pension has decreased by approximately £40 a month and now is approximately the same as it was in 2024.

My cirumstances haven't changed - I' literally just noticed.

Would a change of tax code be accountable for this?

Thanks in advance.

If your tax code has gone down, that will probably result in you paying more tax.

Mine went down in December for no apparent reason and I was taxed when I shouldn't have been, something I think happened to quite a lot of people.

I was able to change it to the correct amount via the HMRC app and got the overpaid tax back the following month.
