Its not earnings its tax. 45%will pay more. That s a BBC sourced number. £33k is an indicator but it will probably catch pensions, investment income etc etc

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.

This subject was brought up at PMQs today and the PM confirmed that the Secretary of State for Defence was “looking at the issue”

In defence questions today S of S confirmed that the govt were seeking to mitigate the effects of Scottish income tax on service personnel. He hoped for an announcement before the summer recess.

I'm amazed by this. When I served in Germany & Cyprus, we did not pay their income tax. So why in Scotland. As for the Minister 'Looking at the issue'. Typical... a decision (if we are lucky) in 10 years time.

Once they have lived there for three years then they are considered domiciled in Scotland.

As usual serf gets it wrong! So now there should be a different tax for single people and those that are married with kids. How about the spouse pays Scottish tax, but the Service person does not? We could embugger the tax system with multiple permutations!!

Serf, How many serving personnel do you think are old enough to have kids considering university?

I know a decent strata - senior SRs and those Officers in their early 40s.

You have to have higher taxes in Scotland so that after Brexit Scotland will still offer free university places to all EU countries.

From what I understand from my Father, that was in the days before the military salary. Accommodation and food were free, but pay was extremely low. Supporting a family just wasn't on. We were being provided with our bedding on a weekly basis as late as 1969. This was all replaced by the Military Salary in the early 70s. We also started paying rent and food then as well.

I have just had my new tax code. They lowered it to take account of Ayatollah Sturgeon's tax increases. As it will probably be 'adjusted' at the end of this month it looks like I am going to take a hit.

I think HH was referring to a previous tax allowance (still available I believe to v senior citizens). The allowance you allude to was called marriage allowance and paid to over 25 year old married personnel (not sure if the wife had to be as well). You are right that Military salary changed all that-it was also the start of "bean stealing".

Announced today that personnel will receive compensation for extra tax paid in Scotland. Well done Douglas Ross and other MPs. That must be close to a record for a bringing an injustice to the attention of MoD and getting it sorted.
