Nicola Sturgeon (main image in the Scottish Parliament today with Tory leader Ruth Davidson) has increased income tax by 1p on earnings over £24,000 a year as she imposed a tartan tax. Her Finance Secretary Derek Mackay (inset) announced a draft budget today that included a raft of new spending promises. Ms Sturgeon earlier claimed just three in ten taxpayers would pay higher bills under the plans. Mr Mackay's budget creates a new tax band of 21p on earnings between £24,000 and £44,273, and increase the higher and top rate of income tax to 40p and 46p respectively. The basic rate of tax is frozen at 20p under the plans and a new 'starter rate' of 19p on earnings between £11,850 and £13,850 to cut taxes for low earners. Mr Mackay told the Scottish Parliament tax per head would be marginally lower in Scotland than the rest of the UK - despite everyone earning more than £24,000 paying a higher rate than those south of the border.
