The Scottish Rates of Income Tax (Consequential Amendments) Order 2018
This Order makes consequential amendments to various provisions of income tax legislation following the introduction of a “starter rate” and “intermediate rate” of income tax that will apply to Scottish taxpayers’ non-savings, non-dividend income for the tax year 2018/19. These rates were set by a rate resolution made by the Scottish Parliament on 20th February 2018 in exercise of their power to set rates and thresholds for non-savings non-dividend income provided for in section 80C of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 26), as amended by the Scotland Act 2016 (c. 11).
