Scotland ran a narrower deficit last year as a stronger performance from the oil industry boosted revenues, but the gap between government spending and income was nearly four times higher than the UK as a whole.
The latest Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (Gers) data for Scotland shows that for 2017-18 overall state spending hit £73.4bn compared to tax income of just under £60bn, including oil revenues. That left a deficit for the year of £13.4bn, compared with £13.5bn the year before. Scotland’s deficit was equivalent to 7.9% of GDP, while for the UK as a whole it was 1.9%.
Tax revenues for both the onshore economy and the North Sea oil and gas sector rose in the last financial year, by £2bn and £1bn respectively, as the country saw a series of more positive economic figures boosted largely by the oil and gas sector recovery.
The latest quarterly data for Scotland’s GDP showed a better than expected increase in output, with growth of 0.4% in the first quarter of 2018, twice that for the UK over the same period. Scotland’s employment rate was near record levels at 75.2%, while exports were at their highest recorded.
But the comparative figures set out in Gers showed overall spending by the UK and Scottish governments was £1,576 higher per head in Scotland than in the UK as a whole – the highest subsidy in recent years.
Scotland has 8.2% of the UK’s population but absorbed 9.3% of the UK’s total state spending while its share of tax raised across the UK stood at 7.8%. The UK government said this meant the Scottish deficit was equivalent to nearly £1,900 per head more than the UK’s deficit
Are you sure? Why are you sure?Im sure we keep our own income tax now
