HC Deb 30 July 1981 vol 9 c501W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a graduated pension paid in arrears for preceding years, either in error or because of failure to claim, is taxed as for the year it was due, or for the year it is paid.

Mr. Peter Rees

National Insurance retirement pension paid in arrears is taxable by reference to the tax year in which it is due.
