Does anyone know where I can find the gross State Pension rate for 09/10 for a 69 year old married chap? A client has asked me to help him with his SA tax return but his paper filing is not all he would wish. Although he knows what he received, he can't find his P60.
It's the only thing left to put into his Return. Many thanks if anyone can steer me in the right direction.
I don't think you get a P60 for the state pension. There are two usual documents I use:
1. The notice issued around April advising what the pension payments are increasing to. 2. Payments on the bank statement. State pension is usually paid 4 weekly, so if you find a receipt during the year, times by 13.
Unfortunately the amount of pension depends upon a couple of factors, so very often there isn't a standard figure.
Thank you Nick and Jenny, Learning all the time I can get his monthly figure when I unearth his B.Soc paperwork, which should give me a net figure if it's taxed at source. I would think that it's taxed as being part of the lower tax band, since his business income exceeds his pension by a fair whack. Would that be a reasonable assumption?
Regards, Andrew (Indeed - the Revenue must surely know already how much gross pension they are paying him).
