Council Tax Rebate Announced
No mention of it yesterday in the PM's speech, but it has just been announced that armed forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan will get a rebate of £140 on their council tax for a 6 month tour.
Well that does make it all better then!
This is to be paid for out of the existing MOD budget, no extra government money, but obviously the government are trying to take the credit for it.
Nothing said about people on shorter tours, but I wouldn't be hopeful.
