answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>Our approach to mitigation payments was in direct response to concerns expressed by Service personnel adversely affected as Scottish taxpayers. Similar concerns were not raised by others living outside Scotland. Accordingly, there are no plans to provide any form of financial mitigation for those Service personnel outside Scotland who found themselves, for example in Tax Year 2018-19, paying slightly more tax (up to £20 a year) than their equivalents who are resident in Scotland and, therefore, Scottish taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/05/2019 13:35:44 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
