However, when compared to the rest of the UK, many Scots pay more tax. All those earning more than £27,000 pay more in Scotland.The Scottish Government estimates that 45 per cent of taxpayers will pay more than their counterparts in the rest of the UK. This means that the majority of those living in Scotland will be taxed the same or less but those earning in the higher tax brackets will be more affected.
