If you have less than �4000 total income, including state pension if applicable, phone the tax office today.
Private pensions are assesed as taxable income - because you do not usually pay tax on the money that you used to pay into the pension scheme

Do you mean your TOTAL annual income is less than �4000? If so, I don't think you should be paying any tax at all and if your income has been at this level for the past 6 years, I think you can reclaim for that period.


If you are over 60 and �4000 pa is your total income, you should claim pension credit unless you have very significant savings.
