Whatever?!
Melmoth.
Come on you don’t get off that easily. As a Crown servant you pay UK tax wherever you are based in the world. The rate set by Westminster.
Why should living in Scotland be different?
The free tuition fees and prescriptions doesn’t wash for me.
Firstly, how many people are still serving when their kids go to university? Hardly a quid pro quo.
Secondly, families in Wales get free prescriptions and cheaper university education (for now at least). They don’t have to pay more tax for the privilege.
My comment was flippant but surely you see my point.
If I didn’t get the benefit of paying Canadian tax when I was based in Canada, why should I suffer (hypothetically since I don’t live in Scotland) the disadvantage of paying higher tax in Scotland?
Home ownership is irrelevant in my opinion.
