PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Income Tax: Scotland (9 October 2015)

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Revenue and Customs intends to send out a notification letter to Scottish taxpayers to inform them of the introduction of the new Scottish rate of income tax prior to or after the rate being set by the Scottish Government.

Asked by:
Ian Murray (Labour)

HM Revenue and Customs plans to send a notification letter to Scottish taxpayers in December of this year, informing them of the introduction of the new Scottish Rate of Income Tax. As the Scottish Government is yet to set a date for the announcement of its intended rate, it is not possible to state whether the letters will be sent before or after the rate has been announced.
