Rejected petition: Stop Armed Services Pensions from being Taxed
Rejected on
To cease taxing Armed Service Veterans pensions.
Review the whole of the armed services pensions. Keep them free from taxation. Remember many armed service veterans have had to put up with Poor accommodation, Poor Pay & poor conditions during their service careers. It is a total insult to tax these pensions. They should not be taxed. Armed service personnel are not respected or looked after in this country & never have been. Charities have to fill the gaps that Governments should be fulfilling. No wonder its hard to recruit,
