If Scottish Government income was reduced to the level of UK per capita income it would mean a cut of 7.3 Billion per annum. Even if the whole 4.745 Billion of Oil and Gas Revenue ( Including the Southern North Sea ) was allocated to Scotland it would still leave a shortfall of 2.5 Billion. As Scottish average income is some 10% lower than in England, Tax rates would have to rise in Scotland to pay for it, or expenditure reduced.
Meanwhile I will enjoy my Tax cut.
