What £90,000 in Scotland means for your tax
At £90,000 the full £15,000 slice above £75,000 has been taxed at the 45% advanced rate, taking the Scottish premium to about £2,800 a year. The next threshold is £100,000, and it hits harder in Scotland: the UK-wide allowance taper interacts with the 45% rate to produce a marginal rate near 70%, so pension planning before crossing that line matters even more here.
