Exempt UK military personnel from paying Income Tax while abroad.

Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

It has become clear that other nations (for example France and the United States) do not deduct income tax for their servicemen whilst on such tours. This is unfair to British military personnel.
Freeze income tax for UK service personnel serving overseas.
