Stop part of my UK taxes being handed to Scottish government
From 6 April 2016 people who live in Scotland will pay a proportion of their income tax to the Scottish government. This is a change from the current system, where all income tax is paid to the UK government to fund spending across the UK.
All the main rates of income tax for Scottish taxpayers will be reduced by ten pence and this reduction will be replaced by the Scottish Rate of Income Tax.
The rate has yet to be announced. If it is set at ten pence, then income tax rates for Scottish taxpayers will stay the same as the rest of the UK. If it is set at a different rate, then Scottish taxpayers will pay a correspondingly higher or lower rate of income tax than elsewhere in the UK.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure whether your petition is calling for the reversal of the devolution of income tax powers to the Scottish Parliament, or whether you are calling for changes to the way in which the UK Government allocates funding to Scotland.
