The 10 Question Pension Test: Are You Losing Money to Hidden Tax?

Описание: Most people don’t lose money in retirement because they make reckless decisions.

They lose it because the UK pension and tax system is fragmented, technical, and poorly explained.

In this calm, step-by-step UK Pension & Tax Quiz, Angie from UK Money Wisdom walks through 20 real questions using the exact language HMRC, the DWP, and pension providers use every day — and explains the answer immediately after each one.

There’s no maths, no judgement, and no pressure.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• Whether the State Pension is taxable (and how tax is actually collected)
• Why wrong tax codes happen so often in retirement
• When emergency tax applies to pension withdrawals
• Why ISA income is treated differently
• Which income uses your Personal Allowance first
• Why many pension tax problems are temporary or refundable
• And why understanding the system changes outcomes — even if it doesn’t change the rules

This video uses one single tax year only: 2025/26, so examples are clear and safe.

Most pension tax problems don’t come from bad decisions.
They come from unclear language and assumptions built into the system.
