The Scottish Parliament has announced that its 2023 Budget will be held on Tuesday 19 December 2023. This will set the tax and spending plans for Scotland for 2024-25.

Scottish Income Tax has applied since April 2016 and is payable by Scottish taxpayers. This followed the introduction, in April 2015, of Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) which replaced Stamp Duty Land Tax in Scotland.

The last Scottish budget was held on 15 December 2022.
