Discussion on Newsnight about income tax powers and snigger Willies was mentioned
Willies = Work in London Live in Scotland
As a situation whereby we have different income tax rates within the UK its dead simple to move about and also for the highest earners dividends are excluded so the big worry is Scotland will become the highest tax area jn the UK but drawing in the least tax revenue.
They did say doing it pie cement is the wrong way it should be all 4 members of the Union together else its just not going to work.
Wealthy mobile people will find being mobile within the UK to attract different income tax rates will be dead simple.
