Even if you've retired, you normally still have to pay tax.

When you take income from your pension, HMRC tells us which tax code to use in relation to your income and we deduct tax relating to that code. Have a look at their 'Tax you pay on your pension ' page, it will tell you everything you need to know about how your income is taxed including how to make a claim if you have paid too much.
