Details

The statistics in this publication cover:

  • Scottish Income Tax outturn and the equivalent for the rest of the UK
  • Real Time Information monthly receipts for the UK and Scottish taxpayers

Only Income Tax due on non-savings non-dividends (NSND) income is devolved to Scotland. Therefore, the outturn statistics provide a comparison of how NSND Income Tax for Scottish taxpayers compares to that of taxpayers in the rest of the UK. These statistics also include the impact of relief at source payments to pension providers and gift aid payments to charities. Care should be taken when comparing these statistics with other Income Statistics that may include savings and dividend income or may not include relief at source or gift aid.

These statistics are denoted as experimental. Experimental Statistics are statistics that are within their development phase and are published in order to involve potential users at an early stage in building a high quality set of statistics that meet user needs. The Experimental Statistics label highlights to users that HMRC are still working on further developing the style and content for the tables and commentary in this publication. These statistics are expected to be published annually, usually in July.
