It tells you on your tax return for tax reasons whether you're Scots or not.

So my mate who is Polish, born in Poland with Polish parents, speaks Polish, has a Polish passport but works in the same office as I do and pays his tax via Cumbernauld is Scottish?

I'll need to tell him.

For tax purposes yes he is. I said in the OP no matter how how they spin this but you're giving it your best shot.

You've stated that anyone paying tax in Scotland is a Scot - please accept that you're wrong and move on.

Please do not drag me into your debate with another poster on this topic.
It should be stated that everyone living in Scotland pays tax.
However it was recently reported in the press that thanks to people working from home for most of the week some well paid people who work in Edinburgh now live in the North East of England and travel one day a week to work in Edinburgh due to the higher rates of income tax in Scotland compared to England.
That is why the projected annual income from Scottish income tax calculated by the Scottish Government civil servants has been lower than they expected.

Why not? You often press your ferries or anti SNP agendas on peope who are trying to have perfectly reasonable debates on other subjects.
