USVI Taxes on Military Disability Retirement Pay

Military disability retirement pay is not automatically tax-free. Under the income-tax rules mirrored by the USVI, exclusion depends on the IRS conditions, such as qualifying combat-related injury, specified pre-September 1975 service, or the amount of VA disability compensation the recipient could receive. Pay based on years of service is generally taxable except for an allowable exclusion. VA disability compensation is a different, nontaxable benefit. Confirm the payment type and USVI filing requirements with the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
