This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This decision about the rates of income tax in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Government, not the UK Government or Parliament.

The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here:

Alternatively, you could start a petition calling on the UK Government to work with the Scottish Government to agree an exemption for military personnel serving in Scotland.
