    Scotland gets quite a bit more money per person that the rest of the Britain, almost 2 grand per head, to spend on public services.

    That is what we use to fund our worse NHS, worse police force and worse education system, no need for tax rises.

    As I said they are making noises about rejecting the use of the powers so they don't have to make any decision because they can't make a decision for the reasons I stated above.

    They cant drop them as they have been banging on about Nordic socialism for years with its pay more to get more mantra.

    Nothing will happen of any note and in the end the SNP will look lame which is why they are being given the new powers by the tories.

    You can fully expect some kind of "we never got as much power as we wanted so refuse to use what we were given" line from the SNP which will keep their moronic supporters gurning for a few more years.

    So, why HMRC only now announces that SRIT is about to go live from 2016?

    I guess new 60% "solidarity" tax rate won't apply to yourself, which is a pity...

    In my best Admiral Ackbar impersonation... "It's a trap!".

    If you want to know more about this and how it may affect your payroll processes,
    have a look at the article on page 10"
