HC Deb 28 November 1972 vol 847 cc76-7W
Mr. Warren

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the pensions paid to widows of German Servicemen are exempt from taxation by Her Majesty's Government when the widow lives in this country.

Mr. Nott

This depends on the widow's nationality. Under Article IX(2) of the Double Taxation Convention between the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany this type of pension is exempt from United Kingdom tax unless it is paid to a national of the United Kingdom who is not also a German national.
