Do pensioners pay council tax?

Can a lump sum pension be rolled over?
The most important general rule is that if you take a lump-sum distribution from a retirement plan, then you can roll it over into another qualified retirement plan or a traditional IRA and defer any taxable income.

Do I need to inform the tax office when I retire?
Notifying HMRC Your employer and any pension provider will normally tell HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) when you retire. To prevent a delay that might result in an overpayment or underpayment of tax, you should also tell them. If you’re self-employed and about to retire, you must always contact HMRC.

Do I have to fill in a tax return if I am retired?
