Scottish tax rates and thresholds unlikely to operate from 6 April 2020
04 March 2020
Last week, HMRC published the ‘rates and thresholds for employers 2020 to 2021’, and within the document, the Scottish rates and thresholds were unchanged from those in operation for tax year 2019-20.
This was surprising to some as the Scottish budget, held on 6 February 2020, presented a different set of thresholds for the new tax year. HMRC’s Software Developer Support Team (SDST) has now confirmed that this is because it “would not expect the Scottish budget to operate from 6 April 2020.”
There has been no further information provided as to when the thresholds proposed at Scottish budget will take effect from, and the advice given is that the operative date will be confirmed in due course.
As soon as there are any further updates, the CIPP will notify its members via News Online.
