Stop veterans paying income tax on their pensions.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Raise the issue to the House of Commons to help veterans by not applying an income tax code to their pension and treating it as standard income. This should form part of the counties obligation to look after its veterans; the armed forces covenant.

Discuss in parliament with a view to amending tax legislation under the armed force’s covenant.
