Can you please answer this general question which I think has been addressed before. I am a UK citizen, retired and resident in Italy. I receive only my early retirement pension from the Teachers Pension scheme, if I understand correctly this, being a government pension, is only liable for tax in the U.K. - the amount I receive is below the U.K. tax threshold and therefore I do not need to file a return in the U.K. Next year I will receive my state pension - it wont be the full amount as I was contracted out. Am I to also understand that my U.K. state pension will only be liable for taxation in Italy. Although Italy doesn't have a tax free threshold it will fall with certain tax credits that would negate payment - i.e. less than 8500e. Many thanks
