Introduce tax relief for service personnel on military pensions

Closed 53 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government to exempt military pensions from income tax, for service personnel who have completed a full service or medically discharged and have completed at least one tour of duty.
As an ex-forces soldier who is in receipt of an army pension after serving 22 years, I am working in an ordinary job but but my army pension puts me into the higher tax bracket. This is wrong in my opinion. British service personnel put their lives on the line, and this should be recognised in tax arrangements for military pensions.
