Supplemental provision with respect to resolutions.741This section applies to any resolution of the Parliament (“a tax-varying resolution”) which—aprovides, in accordance with section 73, for an increase or reduction for Scottish taxpayers of the basic rate for any year of assessment, orbcancels a previous resolution of the Parliament providing for such an increase or reduction.2Subject to subsection (3), a tax-varying resolution—amust be expressed so as to relate to no more than a single year of assessment beginning after, but no more than twelve months after, the passing of the resolution, butbshall have effect in relation to a determination by the Parliament of the United Kingdom of the rate to be the basic rate for that year irrespective of whether that determination had been made at the time of the passing of the resolution.3Subsection (2) shall not prevent a tax-varying resolution relating to any year of assessment from being passed and having effect where—aa determination by the Parliament of the United Kingdom of the rate to be the basic rate for that year is made after, or less than a month before, the beginning of that year,bthat determination is not confined to the passing of the enactment by which a determination of the same rate by a PCTA resolution is ratified, andcthe tax-varying resolution is passed within the period of one month beginning with the day of the making by the Parliament of the United Kingdom of its determination.4Where, in a case to which subsection (3) applies, a tax-varying resolution is passed after the beginning of the year of assessment to which it relates—athe resolution shall have effect as from the beginning of that year, andball such payments, repayments, deductions and other adjustments shall be made as are required to restore the position to what it would have been if the resolution had been passed before the beginning of that year.5Standing orders shall ensure that only a member of the Scottish Executive may move a motion for a tax-varying resolution.6A tax-varying resolution shall not be passed so as to have effect in relation to any year of assessment before the year 2000-01.7Subsections (4) and (5) of section 73 apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section. Scottish taxpayers.751For the purposes of this Part a person is a Scottish taxpayer in relation to any year of assessment if—ahe is an individual who, for income tax purposes, is treated as resident in the United Kingdom in that year, andbScotland is the part of the United Kingdom with which he has the closest connection during that year.2For the purposes of this section an individual who is treated for income tax purposes as resident in the United Kingdom in any year of assessment has his closest connection with Scotland during that year if, but only if, one or more of the following paragraphs applies in his case—ahe is an individual to whom subsection (3) applies for that year,bthe number of days which he spends in Scotland in that year is equal to or exceeds the number of days in that year which he spends elsewhere in the United Kingdom,che is an individual who, for the whole or any part of that year, is a member of Parliament for a constituency in Scotland, a member of the European Parliament for Scotland or a member of the Scottish Parliament.3This subsection applies to an individual for a year of assessment if—ahe spends at least a part of that year in Scotland,bfor at least a part of the time that he spends in Scotland in that year, his principal UK home is located in Scotland and he makes use of it as a place of residence, andcthe times in that year when Scotland is where his principal UK home is located comprise (in aggregate) at least as much of that year as the times (if any) in that year when the location of his principal UK home is not in Scotland.4For the purposes of this section—aan individual spends a day in Scotland if, but only if, he is in Scotland at the end of that day, andban individual spends a day elsewhere in the United Kingdom if, but only if, he is in the United Kingdom at the end of that day and it is not a day that he spends in Scotland.5For the purposes of this section an individual’s principal UK home at any time is located in Scotland if at that time—ahe is an individual with a place of residence in Scotland, andbin the case of an individual with two or more places of residence in the United Kingdom, Scotland is the location of such one of those places as at that time is his main place of residence in the United Kingdom.6In this section “place” includes a place on board a vessel or other means of transport. Changes to income tax structure.761This section applies where—athere has been a proposal for the modification of any provision made by or under the Income Tax Acts,bthat proposal is one made and published by the Treasury or the Board, or (without having been so made and published) appears to the Treasury to be a proposal to which effect is likely to be given by Act of Parliament, andcit appears to the Treasury that the proposed modification would have a significant effect on the practical extent for any year of assessment of the Parliament’s tax-varying powers.2It shall be the duty of the Treasury, as soon as reasonably practicable after the publication of the proposal, or (as the case may be) as soon as reasonably practicable after it first appears to the Treasury that the proposal is likely to be enacted, to lay before the House of Commons—aa statement of whether, in the Treasury’s opinion, an amendment of the Parliament’s tax-varying powers is required as a consequence of the proposal, andbif in their opinion an amendment of those powers is required, the Treasury’s proposals for amending those powers.3Any proposals for amending the Parliament’s tax-varying powers that are laid before the House of Commons by the Treasury under this section—amust be confined to income tax,bmust appear to the Treasury to satisfy the conditions set out in subsections (4) and (5), andcmust not contain any proposal for the Parliament’s tax-varying powers to be exercisable in relation to the taxation of income from savings or distributions.4The first condition mentioned in subsection (3)(b) is that the proposals would secure—aso far as possible, andbafter making due allowance for annual changes in the retail prices index,that the practical extent of the Parliament’s tax-varying powers would remain broadly the same from year to year as it would be if (apart from any resolution of the Parliament) the law relating to income tax were the same from year to year as it was in relation to the year 1997-98.5The second condition so mentioned is that the proposals would not enable the Parliament’s tax-varying powers to be exercised for any year of assessment so as to have an effect on the levels of the after-tax income of Scottish taxpayers generally that would be significantly different from the effect their exercise could have had in any previous year of assessment.6References in this section to the practical extent of the Parliament’s tax-varying powers are references to the amounts of income tax for any year of assessment which appear to be or (as the case may be) to have been the maximum amounts capable of being raised and foregone in that year in pursuance of a resolution of the Parliament.7In this section “income from savings or distributions” means income which, had it been income for the year 1998-99, would have been income to which section 1A of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 applied for that year. Accounting for additional Scottish tax.771Where the basic rate for any year of assessment is increased for Scottish taxpayers by a resolution of the Parliament, it shall be the duty of the Board to pay amounts into the Scottish Consolidated Fund in accordance with this section.2The amounts of the payments to be made by the Board under this section, and the times at which they are to be made, shall be determined by the Board and notified to the Scottish Ministers as soon as reasonably practicable after the passing of the resolution providing for the increase to which they relate.3Any determination made by the Board under subsection (2) for any year of assessment shall be such as appears to the Board to be necessary for securing that, in the course of that year, amounts are paid into the Scottish Consolidated Fund which are equal in total to the amount estimated by the Board to represent the proportion of the income tax receipts for that year that is properly attributable to a resolution of the Parliament.4For the purposes of this section the Board shall make and maintain arrangements as to—athe manner of estimating the proportion of the income tax receipts for a year of assessment that is properly attributable to a resolution of the Parliament,bthe circumstances and manner in which an estimate of that proportion or of those receipts may be revised before or in the course of the year of assessment to which it relates,cthe manner of determining the amount of each payment to be made in respect of any such estimate, anddthe times at which, and manner in which, those amounts are to be paid by the Board into the Scottish Consolidated Fund.5Arrangements under subsection (4) may include provision for the making of adjustments to the amounts paid by the Board where any estimate made for the purposes of this section in respect of any year of assessment (whether the current year or a previous year) turns out to have been inaccurate.6Before making or modifying any arrangements under subsection (4) or (5), the Board shall consult with the Scottish Ministers.7In this section “income tax receipts”, in relation to any year of assessment, means so much as is referable to income tax charged for that year of any sums which, disregarding both—asubsection (8), andbany regulations or direction made or given by the Treasury,are sums that have to be paid into the Consolidated Fund under section 10 of the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866 (gross revenues of Board’s department to be paid into that Fund after the making of specified deductions).8Sums required by the Board for making payments under this section shall be paid out of the gross revenues of the Board’s department; and, accordingly, those sums shall be treated as included in the amounts to be deducted from those revenues before they are paid into the Consolidated Fund under section 10 of the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866. Effect of tax reduction for Scottish taxpayers.781Where the basic rate for any year of assessment is reduced for Scottish taxpayers by a resolution of the Parliament, payments to the Board in accordance with this section shall be charged on the Scottish Consolidated Fund.2The amounts of the payments to be made out of the Scottish Consolidated Fund under this section, and the times at which they are to be made, shall be determined by the Board and notified to the Scottish Ministers as soon as reasonably practicable after the passing of the resolution providing for the reduction to which they relate.3Any determination made by the Board under subsection (2) for any year of assessment shall be such as appears to the Board to be necessary for securing that in the course of that year amounts are paid to the Board which are equal in total to the amount estimated by the Board to represent the shortfall in income tax receipts for that year that is properly attributable to a resolution of the Parliament.4For the purposes of this section the Board shall make and maintain arrangements as to—athe manner of estimating the shortfall in income tax receipts for any year of assessment that is properly attributable to a resolution of the Parliament,bthe circumstances and manner in which an estimate of that shortfall may be revised before or in the course of the year of assessment to which it relates,cthe manner of determining the amount of each payment to be made in respect of any such estimate, anddthe times at which, and manner in which, those amounts are to be paid to the Board.5Arrangements under subsection (4) may include provision for the making of adjustments to the amounts paid to the Board where any estimate made for the purposes of this section in respect of any year of assessment (whether the current year or a previous year) turns out to have been inaccurate.6Before making or modifying any arrangements under subsection (4) or (5), the Board shall consult with the Scottish Ministers.7In this section “income tax receipts” has the same meaning as in section 77.8The sums paid to the Board under this section shall be treated for the purposes of section 10 of the Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866 (payment, after the making of the specified deductions, of gross revenues into the Consolidated Fund) as comprised in their department’s gross revenues. Supplemental powers to modify enactments.791The Treasury may by order make such modifications of any enactment as they consider necessary or expedient in consequence of—athe fact that the Parliament has, or is to have, the power to pass a tax-varying resolution, orbthe fact (where it is the case) that the Parliament has passed such a resolution.2The Treasury may by order make provision—aexcluding the operation of section 73(2) in relation to any enactment, andbmaking any such other modifications of any enactment as they consider necessary or expedient in connection with, or for the purposes of, any such exclusion.3Without prejudice to the generality of the powers conferred by the preceding provisions of this section, an order under this section may provide that, where any tax-varying resolution relating to any year of assessment is passed, that resolution does not require any change in the amounts repayable or deductible under section 203 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (PAYE) between—athe beginning of that year, andbsuch day falling after the passing of the resolution as may be specified in the order.4An order under this section may, to the extent that the Treasury consider it to be appropriate, take effect retrospectively from the beginning of the year of assessment in which it is made.5In this section “tax-varying resolution” has the same meaning as in section 74. Reimbursement of expenses.80The Scottish Ministers may reimburse any Minister of the Crown or government department for administrative expenses incurred by virtue of this Part at any time after the passing of this Act by the Minister or department.1988 c. 1. 1968 c. 2. 1988 c. 1. 1866 c. 39. 1866 c. 39. 1866 c. 39. 1988 c. 1.
