Farage pledges Armed Forces reservists will pay no tax on their earnings under Reform to tackle 'massive' recruitment problem

Nigel Farage unveiled the policy at a Reform UK rally in Plymouth, home of the Royal Navy, as part of the party's '100 Days to Save Britain' tour. Every hour served as a reservist would count as overtime, which Reform has already pledged not to tax. Army, Navy and RAF reservists serve evenings and weekends, with most roles asking for 27 days a year. Farage said Reform would be 'the party that will incentivise those that stand up'.

A new recruit earns about £2,200 a year, while a Sergeant earns around £5,100.

About 100 anti-Reform protesters chanted outside Plymouth Arena as Farage addressed 300 supporters.
