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> more like this
