As the new tax year (2022/2023) draws close, here is our reminder of the proposed income tax rates and allowances for Scottish taxpayers as announced in the Scottish Budget on 9 December 2021 by Scottish Finance Secretary, Kate Forbes.
From 6 April 2022 there are no changes to the rates of income tax and the higher and top tax rate thresholds remain at the same level as in the current (2021/2022) tax year. However, the starter and basic rate bands will increase by 3.1%, the CPI inflation rate.
The proposed new bands for 2022-2023 – assuming that the standard UK personal allowance applies.
