Stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance on British armed forces

Petition Details

We want the Government to stop taxing Longer Separation Allowance (LSA) which compensates British service personnel for unavoidable extended time away from their families due to deployments and training.

Additional Information

LSA also helps ease the emotional, personal, and financial strain these separations place on soldiers and their loved ones.
