Isn't this a similar case with CILOCT?
Party Animal,
I believe that’s the argument they use to justify why UK forces don’t get tax free pay in operational areas when allies such as US personnel do. Would seem to be a sensible thing to say you’re employed by the MOD based out of London and therefore pay London tax rates. I’m sure wee Jimmy Krankie would kick off though claiming that yet again Whitehall was undermining the Scottish governement’s right to set taxes and generate funding thereby turning it into yet another independence whinge.
