You forgot the higher taxes for working / middle class in Scotland

Hi John
Interesting point you make and assume you mean Income Tax.

Here are Delotties figures for tax year 2019 /20

The lower earner
£15,000 salary
If you earn a salary of £15,000 in 2019/20 and have no other income, the personal allowance of £12,500 will be deducted and £2,500 will be taxable.
If you are resident in Scotland, your income tax calculation will be as follows;
Scottish starter rate - £2,049 at 19%= £389.31
Scottish basic rate - £451 at 20% = £90.20
Total tax = £479.51

This is a decrease of £130.49 compared to 2018/19 due to the increase in the personal allowance (decided by the UK government ) from £11,850 to £12,500 and an increase in the starter rate band.
If you earned the same sum of money but were not resident in Scotland the full £2,500 would be taxable at 20% ( UK basic rate) producing an income tax bill of £500. Therefore, you would pay £20.49 less as a resident of Scotland..............

£33,000 salary

If you earn a salary of £33,000 in 2019/20 and have no other income, the personal allowance of £12,500 will be deducted and £20,500 will be taxable. If you are resident in Scotland your income tax will be as follows:
Scottish starter rate - £2,049 at 19% = £389.31

Scottish basic rate - £10,395 at 20% = £2,079
Scottish intermediate rate - £8,056 at 21% = £1,691.76
Tax total = £4,160.07
If you were resident elsewhere in the UK, the full £20,500 would be taxable at 20%, giving an income tax liability of £4,100. A Scottish resident would pay an additional £60.07 in income tax compared with living elsewhere in the UK.

For me in my position I think 33k is a good salary you are not well off but it’s about 8k higher the the Uk average.

if you are earning 33k per year you pay £5 per more in tax Scotland

For that 5 Scottish pounds extra the person would get
Free prescriptions
Free eye tests
Free personal care for there parents and grand parents
Free tuition fees for your kids
And of course you get to live and work in the best country in the world

Now I would say that the list above is worth a fiver a month but of course some would like to have that extra fiver - each to your own m8

If I was an income taxpayer I'd rather have my fiver.

Lol, just noticed "best country in the world".....

[Shuntz]

Lol you started the comedy fiction by saying the courier was a left wing “progressive paper”

[Returnofrros]

Any comment on the higher council tax band differentials that the chauvinist and her crew brought in a year or two back for band E and above?

It is not as left as the Tele but it is pro abortion, pro drugs, pro LGBT etc etc etc

[Shuntz]

I don’t agree with council tax personally RRos

Neither do most clear thinkers but the SNP increased the differentials which has made a God awful tax even worse.

The phrase "those with the broadest shoulders" is pure fantasy.

I think we should abolish Cooncil tax and replace it with a windfall tax on online gambling or people who live in stately homes on the Scottish Islands...............,,,,,,,,,,,.
