If you earn £100-£125k you currently pay income tax at a marginal rate of 63%. This isn’t enough for the SNP who next Tuesday are increasing it to 65%. 🤯 in what world is this a reasonable thing to do, when money is being wasted left right and centre by these imbeciles on embassies with no political purpose, ferry contracts so bad we pay 10 x the going rate, and a department for constitutional affairs who’s whole purpose is outwith the devolution agreement. We’ve just spent millions trying to get the GRR past section 35 when the case was so weak it took 46 seconds for the judge to throw it out and rUK are (quite rightly) considering asking for the Scottish government to pay their costs.

I don’t mind paying more taxes for the child poverty measures, but raising taxes to allow these fiscally incontinent 5 year olds to waste again and again and again is farcical.

This is a stupid question as in I should know the answer, but if you live in England but work in Scotland which rate of tax do you pay?

It's based on where you live. Hence high paid Edinburgh workers living just over the border and getting the train up.

One of the comments was really that, but also saying if one of them was a man in a dress it would be complete.

BBC News - Funded places for Scottish universities to be cut
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67993638

Turns out this was in the budget too. It's crazy we can't pay for our DC to attend Scottish universities, but folks from the rest of the UK can...

Funded places for Scottish universities to be cut

The finance secretary has confirmed that at least 1,200 places will be axed as ministers seek savings.
