As a pensioner with a state pension and a modest professional pension, will I be better off or worse off after the tax changes in April 2008?

Assuming that your income is in excess of your basic rate tax allowance, then you will be slightly worse off as the 10% lower rate will be scrapped from april of next year...therefore, your 20% (was 22%) basic rate tax will kick in earlier!! therefore slightly more tax.
It does depend on your level of income. I work in the tax office and we worked out roughly what this change would mean if you are on about �15000 or under then you will be slightly worse off because of the 10% tax band being abolished.
