Nearly 10,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the additional tax bands to be scrapped.
More than 8,600 people have signed a new online petition calling for Scottish tax rates to be scrapped and restored to the same levels as those administered by the UK Government. There are now six tax bands for people in Scotland, compared to just three in other parts of the UK.
Changes to personal taxation in Scotland announced at last year's Budget came into force on April 1 and saw the creation of a new tax band of 45p for those on salaries of between £75,000 and £125,140. The top rate of tax - levied on earnings above £125,140 - increased by one penny to 48p. The ‘Remove powers to vary income tax rates from the Scottish Parliament’ petition has been posted on the petitions-parliament website.
“The Scottish Government is creating a widening gap between tax thresholds in Scotland compared to the rest of the UK. We believe this has created a more complex and unfair tax system, and create an increasing divide between the UK nations.”
