Who taxes UK state pension?

Last year our tax office said that we should have paid French tax on our UK state pension then claimed it back from the UK government.

Has tax on UK pension changed?

My UK state pension is paid into our UK account and if the exchange rates favour us, we transfer some to our French bank account. When we arrived in France in 2001 we were told by our local tax inspector it was not liable to French tax as we had already paid our tax in the UK. Now our tax office says there has been a change in law (they mentioned a UK/France convention) and from the 2016 tax year I would have to start paying tax on it. Have you heard of this? T.H.
