Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 16 October 2014 to Question 210913, when he plans to begin public information campaigns in Scotland to inform taxpayers and businesses about changes to the tax system in Scotland.

The Scottish rate of income tax will be introduced from April 2016. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will contact individuals who will be affected by the introduction of the Scottish rate from autumn 2015. HMRC will continue to work with stakeholders and provide updates to businesses about the changes ensuring those affected will have the information and support they need in advance of the introduction of the Scottish rate.
