Re: Why do we pay tax when out of area????
I was not even thinking that tax should not be payable. I hope I made the point that the rules are there for all and Service Personnel should not receive any special concessions except where agreed by parliament. I also said I had no desire (really probably could not) do the job the troops do these days. So they have my utmost admiration but the tax rules apply to all. Is it not the case that whilst technicall you may be in a foreign country your base of operations is "UK soil" so to speak? I dont really know these days but if memory serves me right that used to be the case. Secondment was the only exception.
