Granny Danger Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 So small increase in personal allowance (up £650) but far greater increase before higher rate starts (up £3,650). So a budget for the middle classes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance he's not starting the higher rate of tax now to £50,000 but in Scotland it starts at £43,430 (41%) Does that remain the same? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The personal allowance bit applies in Scotland but the higher rate bit doesn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 As opposed to the SNP who blatantly tell you that you’re being forced to pay a higher tax rate than the rest of the uk. I wonder how much they’ll rob from us this time when the personal rates are increased in April?You obviously have issues with income taxation levels in Scotland. Where do you stand with tax avoidance - should someone like myself be taking advice, rather than being taken advantage of ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawWatchin Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 So let's see if i've got this right. Scotland is facing up to 2 billion pounds of cuts in real terms for next years budget, while around 2 billion pounds of additional funding was found from "somewhere" for England and Northern Ireland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Excellent budget yesterday. National Living Wage increased. Tax free Allowances increased yet again. Restrictions on Letting Relief. Clampdown on tax and NI insurance avoidance through fake "self employment" extended to private industry. 650,000 new homes to be built. More money for those on welfare payments. A digital services tax. Cuts in business rates. An end to PFI. All good stuff. Not much to complain about. Tay cities deal not being matched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I have no idea what you mean by that.£200 million for regeneration of the cities in the Tay area. U.K. Govt promised to match pound for pound the Scottish Govt contribution, but they haven’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 What do they mean by "and end to PFI"? Are they removing the public or the private element? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just a couple of weeks ago everyone from the DUP to Labour and even Tory rebels were all, for various reasons, hinting they could vote down the budget. It all seems to have gone a bit quiet now. Have they been appeased by the revised tax thresholds which clearly favour the better off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Tories are worried about a GE and the possibility of Corbyn as PM. Half the Labour MPs are worried about a GE and Corbyn as PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
