By “unless exempt” I think for the sake of transparency you should state that receipt of a UK State Pension is presently an exemption criteria. In other words: in the vast majority of cases they aren’t making a contribution over and above income tax.

This exemption could equally be removed: so 1.3 million UK nationals (or the vast majority of) could be asked to stump more up in their retirement because (ironically) we don’t like immigrants! So rather than pay more they will probably come home and try to get treated here.
