How Scottish Income Tax Works

The Scottish Government sets its own Income Tax bands for non-savings, non-dividend income such as salaries, pensions and rental profits earned by Scottish taxpayers.

  • Different tax bands from the rest of the UK.
  • Personal Allowance remains the same as the UK.
  • National Insurance is UK-wide with no Scottish variation.
  • Your tax code should start with S if HMRC classifies you as a Scottish taxpayer.
  • Dividend and savings income is taxed using UK-wide rules.

This calculator uses all current Scottish tax bands for accurate results.
