The Scotland Act has received royal assent, giving powers for the Scottish parliament to set a local rate of income tax different from that of the UK’s.
A new rate is expected to be introduced from 6 April 2016, and ITA 2007 will be amended to peg the income tax rate for Scotland’s taxpayers at ten percentage points below the main UK rate.
