In the glory days when we were posted all over the world we paid our tax and national insurance at source, in UK. It had nothing to do with our address or where we worked, we were employed by the MOD and paid in Gloucester. The serviceman is paid to serve anywhere under standard contract conditions. When I worked as a consultant at Sabena Technics in Belgium in 2008 my salary was paid with UK tax and N.I. contributions deducted by the Agency here in UK and I was not subject to Belgian tax, it being the source of one's income that controls where tax is paid. For service personnel that source is not in Scotland. So to repeat, why should being posted to Scotland be any different?
