Emmanuel Macron's government is plotting a €4.5bn (£3.8bn) stealth tax raid on pensioners as it grapples with a growing pile of debt. The country is considering scrapping 10pc tax relief for up to 14 million pensioners as part of efforts to secure €40bn (£34bn) in savings from 2026. The relief, introduced in 1978, is worth up to €4,123 per household, with a minimum of €422 per retiree.

The country's poorest pensioners, who rely solely on the state pension for their retirement income, are on track to be dragged into the tax net within the next three years. The "full" state pension rose to £11,973 this month - close to the frozen £12,570 tax-free threshold. The "triple lock" - which ensures payments rise each year by the highest of inflation, wage growth or 2.5pc - is expected to push the state pension past this threshold in April 2028.
