Scottish and English income taxes start to diverge

SNP will not adopt UK Chancellor's 40p tax threshold change - BBC News

It seems a pretty minor change so far but it will be interesting to have a way to actually directly compare English and Scottish systems, that's fairly unusual I think?

Gonna get messy, how would it work for a company that does work in both countries?

Same as it does normally?

Yeah that was interesting but perhaps they decided that would be a bit bold right off the bat. Give it a couple of years.

They don't want to have people suddenly move to England...

Well it is harder to make radical changes when people have the option to move so easily. Of course people can emigrate the UK but that's seen as a huge decision so very few people ever go through with it; moving England <--> Scotland is so easy that maybe we would see it happen. Difficult to manage because you very much could see the highest paid just move to England.

Is it where you live or where you work?

I don't remember a "are you in Scotland" checkbox on the PAYE software.

You don't put your address?

How's it work if a Eurozone company, or a US company employs someone living in the UK or vice-versa? Presumably this will be similar and quite straightforward, whichever way round it works.
