Re: Troops Get Bonus
Quote:
The special bonus for the 7,200 troops in Iraq and 5,600 serving in Afghanistan will be issued when they return from war and will cover their tax bills.............
.........The move is designed to put troops on an even footing with their US counterparts, who do not pay tax while in war zones.

I'm actually quite disgusted to learn that soldiers out there risking their lives are still expected to pay UK taxes. |
