If 45% will pay more then I would have thought 45% have taxable income over £33k which seems quite astonishing.

I found a link and it's not a BBC figure, it's the BBC reporting Derek Mackay's figure - he's the Scottish Finance Secretary:

Scottish income tax changes unveiled - BBC News

The Scotsman says "the median, or typical, gross salary in Scotland for all employees as of April 2017 was £23,150"

I've not found good data for the various deciles.
