Anyone know if you are entitled to your Income Tax back when on accompanied overseas tours to a (nice) sandy place outside the EU?

HMRC website states that:

"The duties of UK Crown servants are treated as being performed in the UK regardless of where in the world they are carried out. Therefore, the salaries of Crown Servants remain chargeable to tax in the UK in accordance with UK tax legislation."

You might find it useful to visit the HMRC website where more detail is available or to contact your tax office. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/crown_employees.htm
