I believe you are referring to hazard pay. That‘s always been tax-free to the best of my knowledge. On the other hand, regular salaries are still taxed like every other Canadian as far as I know.Originally posted by Tyrnagog:
[qb] Well, at least the military wasn‘t totally ignored. No paying income tax for soldiers over-seas isn‘t so bad... I guess... [/qb]
Is this new.. it would seem to think so, but I can‘t say for sure...Goodale also announced that Canadian soldiers will no longer pay income tax for those periods when they are serving on missions overseas.
Yeah, my bad. I just heard about that right now, I‘m watching the speech on CBC. In fact, I was wrong, soldiers will not pay income tax when on overseas missions.Originally posted by Tyrnagog:

We‘ll, wouldn‘t you be bitter too, if you knew your loved ones had to serve their country using equipment that is outdated, while the government twiddles it‘s thumbs, piddling $100 million down the drain on the sponsorship scandal, and millions more all over the place. The government seems quite willing to take all the credit for the accomplishments of the troops, yet wants no part is fiscally supporting them.Originally posted by Tyrnagog:
