doulikefish Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 People do realize that we dont actually get anything until they have been voted through the commons and the house of pig troughing lords?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 True but if all three major parties are on board this can get fast-tracked through very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting next to f**k all anyway. They aren't even devolving 100% of income tax - despite what everyone is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strichener Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 OK mate, point taken. I was in case if indy Scotland not part UK. However, us in the Borders could do a move 20 miles to get better rates, could work the same way as well. I have a registered English and Scottish businesses, I could pay payroll from either (albeit I pay from Scotland now). Different tax regimes, indicates a different nation state as far as I am concerned. Income tax is based on where the economic activity is carried out. If you work in Scotland you pay Scottish taxes, regardless of where your home or business is domiciled. this is why double taxation agreements exist.

BerwickMad Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I've been told my income tax will be calculated on where I live, not where I work. I will be working in Scotland, but living in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be working in Scotland, but living in England. Who told you this? Currently the rules are as per the Scotland Act. 2012 definition of Scottish Tax Payers. If Scotland is to have complete control over the setting of income tax, then I would expect this to include anyone who earns in Scotland, it doesn't work any other way. ETA: I suppose it could work if Scotland had a double taxation agreement with the rest of the UK but I think this is highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just people at work who do the opposite and live in Scotland but work in England. Hadn't really given it much thought but I start a new job in Scotland on Monday.

Double Jack D Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 What if you work for an English Company out of a Scottish office and carry out work in both England and Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Quite funny how a single poll which put Yes 1% ahead has caused carnage in Westminster after a complete knee-jerk reaction to promise more powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Would love to know the answer to this Me too. My other half for example works at Centrica in their Aberdeen office whilst their registered HQ is down in Windsor. I was about to say that on the other hand you have the likes of Shell, a Dutch company who raise a fair amount in Scotland but based abroad and that works quite easily already. Then I remembered that it's technically an entirely separate company called 'Shell UK' for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidAl Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 http://news.sky.com/story/1380950/scotland-to-get-full-income-tax-powers As near to federalism as possible? Bullshit. The fight goes on. The whole 'more devolution' thing is a complete red herring. Any increase in Scottish income tax receipts, the block grant is reduced accordingly. Any decrease in Scottish receipts, the block grant is increased accordingly. None of it gives us any real powers, or maks any real difference - it's just a re-packaging of the status quo to keep the Yes voters and Vow voters happy. All we now have is a complete administrative 'devo mess'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotbawmad Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I voted SNP last election, to encourage the vote, but personally I was left disappointed at the Yes Campaign and how they handled the the most important issue, finance. The Yes campaign did give answers to these issues, but they were deliberately being muddied and censored by MSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Near federalism would be delivering on the Vow. Nothing else is acceptable Don't think the Vow mentioned federalism tbh. Not sure I see the point in limited powers being transferred as some form of appeasement or if it will lead to good governance in Scotland. Also thought the integrity of the UK wide tax system had to be maintained at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
