Had a look around the forums but didn't come across anything relevant.

With the Scottish income tax now having more tiers than Nicola Sturgeon during a Covid enquiry, this is becoming frustrating to say the least for "higher earners" note the inverted commas !

The obvious and simplest route is to reduce your taxable income by increasing pension contributions. Other than this, are there any other angles to be played here ?

Thanks, just had a quick read through it. I was expecting blue and white face painting with everyone shouting freedom but it's actually the opposite from what I have read so far !

Thanks for all the replies. Yes I was being sarcastic about the "free" stuff.
