A tax hike on high earners in Scotland has cost the public purse about £22 million in a single year, new analysis indicates.
Dan Neidle, a tax policy expert who was part of the Scottish government’s recently axed tax advisory group, said its decision to impose a 48p top rate had instead reduced revenues.
Rather than injecting money into struggling public services, as intended, evidence suggests high earners are so put off by the enormous rates, they are taking steps to avoid coming into that bracket.
Nothing is certain in life except death and rich people avoiding taxes
Its the same in England
Richer people leaving Britain responding to aggressive Labour tax policies
Labour clearly want them to leave
I think they figure that the brain drain will eventually lower the average IQ slowly aligning to the thick as labour wasters
Its not just the tax take which evaporates its the spending which they make which also evaporates too
At least some of the latter trickles down through the economy
Anyone who has the resources & ability to move would be mad not to. Reasons ⬇️
The UK is increasingly crime ridden magnified by poor policing [PC correctness in overdrive] lightweight sentencing wokey-ness & the brown tide
Labours answer is after the rozzers & courts spend ages catching & convicting crims let them out early
Tho TBF its not just down to Labour prison capacity has been steadily getting worse for decades
Labour is all about rehabilitation in the community tags etc

The scrotes who murdered the PC being dragged for a mile before he died getting let out early WTF & the sentences were way too short
Dragging people behind cars trucks is used as torture by the mislamics [no surprises there] & they film it for propaganda purposes
Its difficult to imagine a worse way to die
Those departing will be able to keep UK properties & visit for certain periods of time so they don't entirely quit the GB
I wish i was one of them i'm not
Tho thankfully reasonably large parts of Surrey do still resemble middle england & the home counties
I feel sorry for people living in places which resemble Islamabad or are heading in that direction
