If you’re a Self Assessment taxpayer, you’ll need to make sure that you include any taxable benefits you’re getting in your overall income. The most common taxable benefits are:
Bereavement Allowance
some Incapacity Benefit payments – not taxable for the first 28 weeks
some Income Support payments – not taxable if you haven’t signed on as unemployed and you’re looking for work
pensions payable under the Industrial Death Benefit scheme
Carer's Allowance – child dependency additions are not taxable
Jobseeker's Allowance
retirement pension – the State Pension is taxable but, unlike company pensions, it’s paid to you without tax being taken off so you need to tell your Tax Office you’re getting it
Statutory Sick Pay
Statutory Maternity Pay
Widowed Parent's Allowance

The things the government pays for are not free. The government needs to get its money from somewhere. The government can not just print more money, but that is a different topic. Taxes are one way, but not the only way, the government gets its money. Taxes attempt to collect money from people in proportion to their income, or in proportion to the value of the property they own, or in proportion to the value of the things they buy.
