How do I apply the Scottish tax rate to my return and what impact does this have?
Article ID: 2535
Last updated: 21 Mar, 2024
When using TaxCalc, the tax return should automatically have the tax rate applied based on the postcode of the address on the return. Therefore the return will automatically apply the Scottish rate if there is a Scottish postcode. If this doesn't happen, please ensure that you are running the latest version of TaxCalc before trying again.
If for any reason, you need to manually change the option applied by TaxCalc, please complete the below steps:
SimpleStep Mode: Personal details > Your address > Select the applicable radio button on screen as to which tax rates to use.

HMRC Forms Mode: SA100 Core Return > Page 1 or click on personal details

The What if planner also provides updated calculations in line with the underlying rules applying to residents of Scotland.
How do the calculations differ between the United Kingdom and Scotland?
