Abstract

Revenue Scotland is responsible for the collection and management of the taxes fully devolved to Scotland – currently Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and Scottish Landfill Tax (SLfT). The tax authority was established by the Revenue Scotland and Tax Powers Act 2014 (RSTPA), which created the legislative framework for devolved taxes in Scotland. As a Non-Ministerial Office, Revenue Scotland is part of the Scottish Administration and is directly accountable to the Scottish Parliament to ensure the administration of tax is independent, fair and impartial.
