When I was in the RAF and stationed in West Berlin, we were taxed as normal.

Only difference was LOA (Living Overseas Allowance) wasn't taxed - it was to help fund the difference between UK costs and local costs, so it would have been a bit unfair to tax it.

Perhaps it's that or something similar that is being taxed now?
