In an update from HMRC’s SDS Team they have said that until the tax rates and thresholds are confirmed by the Scottish Parliament, HMRC will not know the correct figures to use for Scottish taxpayers for the 2017-18 tax year.
HMRC realise this will impact on finalising 2017-18 software products and have assured us and software developers that they will advise of the correct figures as soon as they are ratified by the Scottish Parliament.
The Scottish Government has advised that the Scottish Parliament is currently scheduled to agree these in the week commencing 20 February .
