The state has officially passed the legislation to exempt military retirement pay from income taxation. I appreciate the dedication shown by the five hundred sixty-seven people who leant their names to this cause. Please remain observant as the administration begins the implementation process for these new tax codes.

I support passage of Vermont House Bill 846-Exemption of Military Retirement Pay from State Tax.
Final supporters
Vermont House Bill 846-An Act Relating to the Exemption of Military Retirement Pay from State Income Taxation. The bill proposes to exempt military retirement pay from State income taxation. It has the support of the Governor's office, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and NGA-VT, your voice in Montpelier. Get involved: Whether you want to testify in front of a legislative committee, meet with legislators, or help with a NGA-VT hosted event; there are plenty of ways to have your voice heard.

Bringing highly trained US Military service member into our State is valued added to the work force. This only makes sense to the on going economic recovery of Vermont. Legislators sign on to this one and "bet on a vet" !!! You always win.
I’m a retired MSG (E8). It would be nice and would be essential to keep me and all of my retirements in Vermont. What would you rather do? Exempt my Military retirement or lose $6000.00/mo when I move to Florida?
The State of Vermont is willing to give people from other states money to move here, but not willing to take care of those who have served them and our state through the military. You wonder why people are moving out of VT to states that give us a break. Start fixing it with this bill!
retired SMSGT, VTANG. I am for this legislation particularly since I retired in 2014 yet I cannot collect my retirement until 2031. The least our state could do is not tax me on it, after 22-1/2 of distinguished service.
As a Retired veteran and former Veterans Outreach worker. I saw first hand how many retired veterans struggled to make ends meet in VT. Many like myself have moved from our homes in VT to more veteran friendly states. Please consider this bill and show your respect and support for your veterans.
As a retired military person, this is a big part of mydecision making when it comes to where I want to move when I retire
Born and raised in Vermont. Served 38 years in the Vermont Air National Guard. Recently retired and now forced to look asst moving because I can't afford to live in Vt on my pension after taxes.

Kiplinger magazine lists VT as one of the worst stars in which to retire. Passage of this bill would at least make VT appealing to military retirees who are for the most part still looking to work because they are in their 40’s when retiring.
